describe my work, are closely
related to the unconscious
images of death and eroticism.
Both present as methaphors of

Installations
First indoor Installation at the CENART (Mexico City) with the work entitled “Des-hechos” (Wastes), a remembrance, a reflexive sight, of different stages and circumstances of our own lives. Project which involved 5 contemporary young artists including myself.
Winter 1998. (Collective)
Indoor Installation “IN SITU” at the Anahuac University (Mexico City), with the project called “Without Name”, a critic view of the mass education of the high society in the private Universities in my country.
September 1999. (Individual)
Outdoor Installation “IN SITU” at the Iberoamericana University, campus Santa Fe (Mexico City), with the project “Cosechamos lo que sembramos” (We harvest what we sow), as a critic proposal of the recycling culture in Mexico. November 1999. (Individual)
Indoor Installation at the Gallery El Reloj in Polanco (Mexico City), with the project to honor the Holly Souls Day (Day of the death). This was a personal, original idea; the conceptualization of the montage for this project was product of my own initiative. Although it was solved as a team work.
November 2000. (Collective)
Indoor Installation at Lisa Coscino Gallery (Monterey, California USA). Project named “Reflections, Celebrating Death”. This Installation has a provocative and beautiful way of presenting death to a community that usually doesn't relate to the concept of death as a day to day thing.
November 2001. (Individual)
Indoor Installation and Photography exhibition at Lisa Coscino Gallery (Monterey, California USA). This show entitled "Blue Memories Epithph" is a consequense of 2001 installation "Reflections, Celebrating Death". This project concentrated in 12 black cotton boxes, a series of dates, times and texts over 12 historical moments that I consider as -collapses of the human consciousness in the last 100 years-, and by this changed dramaticaly how we see our own existance as a society. The results were impresive for the public that attended the show.
November-December 2002. (Two men show)
Indoor Installation and the presentation of several Art Objects as toys, exposed in the Museum Imagina in the city of Puebla, Mexico.

Indoor Installation presented at the Galería de Arte Contemporaneo y Diseño in the city of Puebla, Mexico. Project shown as an "In Situ" installation, specially created for the gallery. This piece is called "La Urdimbre de la Imaginación", and it's inspired by the reflexion of man towards the world that surrounds, both him and his ideas. A man connected with the universe thru cords that invade the space that embrasses him. This exhibition had two periods of exposure, the first one a regular month and a half show, and a second that lasted for at least five months.
