Changes
Every system changes continuously. Most of those changes are too small to perceive. My work investigates the moment when they become visible.
One research. Multiple forms.

Selected works
Five recent projects in which systems are opened, sampled, cultivated, dismantled and rebuilt.
Rivers inside Rivers
Four waters from one hydrological system, presented separately while remaining materially connected.
Palíndrom
A cabin built from the accumulated matter of a practice, folded back onto a thesis written eleven years earlier.
I, de sobte, l'atzar
A collective portrait of territory made through collected waters, maps and a growing travelling archive.
Jardí de Creences
A living, collaborative garden linking botanical memory, religious traditions and four sites in Vic.
Ways of looking
The works change form, but the questions remain close: how to observe a system without pretending it is still; how to measure without erasing experience.
Observation
Looking long enough for a difference to become perceptible.
Measurement
Using quantities as tools, not as replacements for experience.
Time
Following processes before and after the instant usually called the event.
Systems
Opening wholes into parts, flows, dependencies and feedback.
Documentation
Treating notes, inventories and traces as material forms of research.
Nothing is static. A system is only a temporary arrangement of relations.
