Since 1996 I'm working an artistic and open project in process named Malpais (Badlands). It is based on the conflict between architecture, the city and the identity and where where a tour of

Different spaces and peripheral territories in process of transformation..

 

Malpais investigates the direct relations between the continue redefinitions and readings of the limits of the cities and Presents a series of works in hybrid format (video, photography and installation) leaving

exposed spaces and territories whose main characteristic is the absence of an identity

defined. The non-places

 

These "non-places" coincide on its appearance and characteristics in most spaces and territories  where the project has been developed and where it has been raised as a process of research and production of works related to cities That with its continuous transformation have created their own territories of conflict identity / urbanism as they have been the following proposals: Barcelona (Hortus 1996), Paris (Lejardi 1997), New York (roundtrip 1998), Rome (Sur 1999), El Paso / Ciudad Juarez (Borders 2001) Brooklyn (OverPass 2003), Dublin (OutBorders 2006) ... and lately the airport spaces (Aeropolis 2009) and the abandoned and ruined territories after a process of de-industrialization (Disurbia, 2015).

 

The works that make up the MalPais project are based on fragmented visual structures

(Photo structures) and occupation architectures (video installation) where from a transversal language

 is provoked a multiple look towards the limits of the territories.
