Estas obras se realizaron en la Alquería de los Artistas (residencia de artistas), ubicada en el Parque Natural de la Albufera, a 500 metros de la playa, entre El Perelló, Sueca y Cullera.
Esta antigua finca de labranza reconstruida y rehabilitada, rodeada de huerta y arrozales, es un edificio característico de la arquitectura popular valenciana,todo en este edificio nos evoca la esencia de la cultura mediterránea. Plasmada en la obra, integrandose en el contexto de las tierras colindantes a la ciudad de Valencia, con su historia y con su arquitectura. Los elementos esenciales de la natura de este zona y de las vivencias, es fruto de la continuidad de una idea que vuelve constantemente a mi mente. Pretende hablar de la huella, del paso del tiempo, de la fragilidad del rastro, del residuo de la memoria.

Pretende hablar de la huella, del paso del tiempo, de la fragilidad del rastro, del residuo de la memoria.
La ausencia como idea de pérdida (nada, vacío, e irremediablemente silencio), se convierte en un espacio vacío que significa tanto como la presencia de las cosas (contenedores de memoria emocional), como también del recuerdo de las personas que lo rodeaban.
“Hoy, morimos dos veces: una primera vez en el momento del fallecimiento, y la segunda cuando nadie te reconoce ya en una fotografía” 1.
Intento plasmar “la pequeña memoria”, esa acumulación de pequeños saberes que todos tenemos dentro y que constituyen lo que somos, eso es realmente lo que nos diferencia a unos de otros.
Trabajar la relación que se establece entre el pasado, presente o futuro; el presente es el tiempo de la presencia, mientras que el pasado es representado por los lugares de ausencia.
Será por tanto la propuesta artística, una colección de imágenes que no quieren ocultar su sentido efímero, una relación íntima entre el espacio y las piezas instaladas.

These works were carried out in the Alquería de los Artistas[1] (artists' residence), located in el Parque Natural de la Albufera, 500 metres from the beach, between El Perelló, Sueca and Cullera.
This reconstructed and rehabilitated old working farm, surrounded by garden and rice fields, is a building characteristic of common Valencian architecture, everything in this building evokes for us the essence of Mediterranean culture. Captured in the work, integrating itself in the context of the adjacent lands to the city of Valencia, with its history and with its architecture. The essential elements of the nature of this zone and of the experiences, is fruit of the continuity of an idea that constantly returns to my mind. It aims to speak of the trace, of the passage of time, of the fragility of the mark, of the residue of the memory.
Absence as idea of loss (nothing, emptiness, and irremediably silence), converts itself into an empty space that signifies presence as much as it does things (containers of emotional memory), as much as it does the recollection of the people who surround it too.
“Today, we die twice: a first time in the moment of passing, and the second when no one recognises you anymore in a photograph” 1.
I am trying to capture “the small memory”, that accumulation of little wisdoms that we all have inside and that constitute who we are, that is really what differentiates us from one another.
To work the relationship that is established between the past, present or future; the present is the time of the presence, while the past is represented by the places of absence.
Therefore it will be the artistic proposal, a collection of images that do not want to hide their ephemeral sense, an intimate relationship between the space and the installed pieces.

The installation is composed of 2 square m. of artificial grass. On it there are 144 pots with fertile earth, and each one of them contains a glass platelet on which appear negatives of written words... (phobia, anxiety, depression...)[2]
Additionally, fixed to the wall and surrounding the grass are located some plastic tubes that contain germinated seeds.
As each person that wants to participate in this installation will have to discard the negative platelet and plant the seed that is found in the little tubes. This action, this act, is compared to the feeling of interior renewal.

RENOVACIÓN REINVENTADA
Esta instalación performativa pretende causar una sensación
simbólica de sanación, de renovación, de cambio sin miedos, de sensaciones mínimas
pero no insignificantes…Esta propuesta multidisciplinar sin la participación de
los asistentes no podría llevarse a cabo.
La instalación está compuesta por 2m cuadrados de césped
artificial. Sobre el mismo hay 144 macetas con tierra fértil, y cada una de
ellas contiene una plaqueta de vidrio en la que aparecen escritas palabras
negativas… (fobia, ansiedad, depresión...). Por otra parte pegadas de la pared y rodeando el césped
están colocados unos tubitos plásticos que contienen semillas germinadas.
Cada
persona participa en esta instalación desechando la plaquita
negativa y plantando la semilla que se encuentra en los tubitos. Esta acción, este acto, es extrapolado al sentimiento de
renovación interior.
El punto final de esta propuesta es el registro visual
(gráfico) de la instalación en continuo cambio, respuesta de la acción del
público.

The full stop of this proposal is the visual record (graph) of the installation in continuous change, response of the action of the public.
