Tango, Intimacies beyond the Boundaries.
Music has always played a major role in my family history.
In tango there is a crossover between what is local and what is universal. It tells stories about what it is to be human, exploring both sensuality and suffering with painful intensity.
My aim is to radicalize the eroticism inherent to tango and take it to an extreme.
“The week seems too long when passion is absent”, says the lyrics of one song. Music and poetry connect me to daydreams that are at once violent and amorous. My works explore the “contacts” that take place at these “boundaries.
Borges, Pina Bausch, Nan Goldin, Klimt, Piazzolla, Goyeneche, Adriana Varela, Horacio Ferrer, and others, rise up and fade away among the images and contents.
“A woman’s whim by the dagger wielded”, came from a reading of Borges works which mention this verse by Evaristo Carriego, and refers to the admiration inspired by the cutlers and their courage, screwed to sticking point, when they dueled over their besmirched honor over a woman.
I share with tango this strong pulse of being part of Buenos Aires. Here they are used as symbols bearing the subjective marks of affections and memories, which play like “tattoos” on our bodies”.

Tango, Intimidades y Desborde.
La música es protagonista en mi historia familiar.
El tango es un entrecruzamiento entre lo local y lo universal, sus letras pintan un retrato retrato de Buenos Aires. Relata historias de la condición humana y explora aspectos sensuales y dolorosos con mucha intensidad.
Mi deseo en estas obras es radicalizar el erotismo que el tango propone.
“La semana sobra cuando no hay pasiones” dice una de sus letras. Música y poesía me conectan con ensoñaciones amorosas y violentas. Imágenes oníricas reflejan los encuentros. Sobre esos contactos y entre en esos bordes hablan mis obras.
Borges, Pina Bausch, Nan Goldin, klimt, Piazzolla, Goyeneche, Adriana Varela y Horacio Ferrer, se asoman y se desvanecen entre las imágenes.
“Caprichos de hembra tuvo la daga” fue inspiración de una lectura de Borges sobre este verso que tomó de Evaristo Carriego. Se refiere a la admiración que Borges sentía por el coraje de los cuchilleros “lobos”, que se mataban a duelo cuando estaba en juego el honor de una mujer.
Comparto con el tango el fuerte sentimiento de pertenencia a Buenos Aires y juego con imágenes que representan simbólicamente historias, afectos y recuerdos que permanecen como “tatuajes” en los cuerpos.
