IN SEARCH OF SPIDER CONSCIOUSNESS. 2023
In the middle of a desert, under the blazing desert sun, rest the remnants
of a great creature. The inside may be hollow, but it is not empty. As the sun goes down, lucky Nobodies may find themselves discovering the ghost of the arthropod consciousness. There is a place to lie down and observe what intricate imagery, light and sound might appear in the spider’s head. The ghost is
still present. It is alive. Does it perceive differently from us? What does it see? How does it represent the world around it? Does it perceive us?

EAR OF THE UNIVERSE. 2019
A multisensory participatory experience which is simultaneously a new kind of spatial musical instrument allowing the audience to play a desert symphony with the rope art piece. The audience will feel the telekinesis-like power, transforming movements and space into the audiovisual sacred dance. Was showcased at Nowhere 2019 in Spain and London decompression 2019.
