"I selected video as an ideal technique, since the images in movement allow me to show in a series, all the similar phases of 'black apocalypses' that different cultures are living in parallel dimensions at the same time; a technique that drives me to the maximal abstraction of high-tech industry irrupting in the spirit of water and the soul of human beings.

The sound of machines, hammering our psyches are the hammering of "King Money", that day to day demands to be prostrated at its feet. Video offers a perfect choreographic interplay between present and future realities generating a singular visual reading that symbolizes new codes of freedom in front of capitalistic disaster and destruction.
