Fotografie 1949-1962

For Robert Rauschenberg, considered one of the fathers of Pop Art, photographs were a fundamental element of his work, co-stars with newspaper clippings and the "objets trouvés" of his "combine paitings". But photography was also a passion that the artist has practiced throughout his life, immortalizing the surrounding world and the companions of his adventure: family, studio, travels to Europe, artist friends including Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns , Willem de Kooning and John Cage, the human body and everyday

DUELOS Y QUEBRANTOS

"From 2013 to 2017, I covered the 2,500 km that comprise the Don Quixote route and other places in the Castilla La Mancha region. I covered the five provinces of the region: Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo.

Constructed Landscapes

This ongoing body of work consists of staged landscapes made of collaged and montaged colour negatives shot across different locations, merged and transformed through the act of slicing and splicing. The resulting photographs are a conflation, ‘real’ yet virtual and imaginary. This conflation aims to transform a specific place – initially loaded with personal meaning, memories and connotations – into a space of greater universality.

La mostruositrans

This book is a vindication of the right to be non-identifiable according to physical and psychological gender stereotypes and speaks to all people who do not feel identifiable in a norm or gender. It is a manifesto claiming one's own path, but also an appeal to all those people who recognise themselves in this path. A clear explanation of how urgent it is to restart from a transfeminist approach. Using references to mythological c
