As for most of my installations the relationalaspect with the public is of primary importance. In Sun Being, the visitor isinvited to come into contact with the work both in a spatial and a metaphoricalsense. Part of my recent output consists of works composed of serial elementsrepeated in an obsessive harmony achieved through old crafting techniques. Theprimary elements are handmade -as if making a ritual, a sort of mantra- thatmaterialize in their global and slow development into conceptual installations.The focus is not essentially on the esthetic composition but mostly on how thecomposition creates the propitious environment to incorporate the publicphysically in the installation thus giving everyone the opportunity to observethe sensorial reaction created in this new situation. Sun Being is composed oficosahedron paper asteroids that gravitate around an inexistent sun. The momenta person enters the installation, metaphorically he/she replaces the emptyspace and becomes the sun itself.
