In recent years there has been an obvious concern in my pieces for the landscape, with different objectives, such as Impression Soleil Levant, Clouds of Memory, Weeds, Sunset…

In Mobile Landscape the landscape is the territory, stating that territory is the material space (physical and psychological) that a certain species needs to guarantee its survival.

Of course, what worries me the most at the moment is the deterrification, which refers to the loss of territory, which condemns you to live in undifferentiated places, where any relationship with the history and memory of places is broken, where there is a Territorial amnesia that can mean strangeness and deculturalization, where the territory remains as a simple support that corresponds to the needs of society.

These stones with wheels speak of reterritorialization, which is the tendency to recover and strengthen local territorial identities and values. To recover the link with history, customs and customs, regardless of where a person is.

Historically, stones have been considered as landmarks, places that pointed to something forever. The important thing now is that these milestones move with us, instead of staying in a space, marking a territory.

As Paul Virilio says the landscape drama has to be reinvented.


The stones come from the surroundings of El Escorial –Madfrid, Spain-.
The materialization with longboard axles and wheels talks about current and near practices and experiences that have to do with sustainable mobility.
Beyond this the stones have not been modified.

Always to carry out my pieces I think that the materials contribute concept and, in this case, I prefer that they are real stones to an interactive or a video.
