Dreams of productivity
Dreams of productivity was a poetic action in a rural town in the Andes mountains.

He didn’t know lettuce made flowers, and therefore that we could keep the seeds. He told me that the dead creek that ran beside the field used to had fish in it when he was a kid.

Truly Yours
On my first trips to the so called “first world” I brought this message with me:

This intervention was born from a feeling of frustration. From the need to make clear the hypocrisy of the economical and political systems that had played out in the past five centuries.
Aire de Museos / Museum’s Air
This project is a question made into an action. I collected air from museums into a big plastic bag and exhibited in the Exhibitions Hall of the Javeriana University.
