L'animal a l'esquena (Celrà)

In my creative process, I started getting interested on the hands. Then, I discovered that one of their functions was to generate shapes and I decided to develop this facet until its limits, capturing and cataloguing more than one thousand postures that I organized in family's. This could be considered like an alphabet in which the letters would be the hand figures. Then, to continue developing the work, I designed and developed a multimedia system that allowed me to conjugate this letters to create words or sentences. This system, also allowed me to paint using this shapes, and many other things. As you can see, as my work evolved, it began to seem like a language. Right now, I'm in the point where i start to use this language in different ways, and in this residence I intend to continue developing it but this time with the body.
After having presented this manual sculpture-like development, I now use a multimedia system with projections which allows me to show how I structure the work, add images and modify parameters of space so that my hands get multiplied, generating more complex structures. This system is interactive; it is controlled by voice and can also be synchronized with music and pre-recorded image projections
