biography
I am an Argentinean artist who works with sound, text, performance, and sometimes video. I am particularly interested in the interaction between abstract sound and human voice, questioning the malleability of language and the limits of sense. I mainly use the voice as an instrument of resistance over its function to transmit and communicate meaning. Liquid Lips
The sound of the singing voice detunes the semantic sense. Hearing voices deconstructing words, sparks up a mix of complex and eerie textures, gently disorienting the listener’s ears. Sense can be fractioned and suspended in amorphous linguistic contexts. Words are stripped from their layers of meaning and are shadowed by echos or stutter in digital cut-ups, as a way to engage with language in a way that is not modulated by expectation. SHARE
