His projects move between documentary and fiction, blending their languages. The imagery he refers to is in this sense transversal: between realism and abstraction. Writing, understood as the narration of a story, remains at the foundation of all his work. It is in this mode of production that images, both photographic and audiovisual, are placed within a dramaturgy, whether tangible or rarefied.
