FAILED DRAG - Video Art
We all can heal. This is a camera-less video created using very high resolution scans of my own face. It is an exploration of the fact of aging in a gender divided society. Am I still beautiful if I have crow feet around my eyes? Does the make-up cover the essence of the person?

CESAREA - Video Art
The sadistic eye of the camera. Florence Foster jenkins performs one of the most painful Queens of the Night ever recorded. As painful as the scars on the body of my model, who very submissively is scrutinized inch by inch, to realize it is also a sexual game.

ANOCHE MATARON UN TRAVESTI
Video Art / Political / Activism
GLBT Human rights and drugs in Colombia. LGBT people were cosidered disposable, just like the homeless who - in the Colombian context - are a result of the drug politics in the country. What surprises me the most is that the message is still pertinent more than 15 years later.

ASFIXIA - Video Art
Before condoms appeared in my life... It is so easy to put a condom where you are supposed to... but when you try to make it fit in your head, it is a completely different story. This video was censored by Colombian TV, because of the condom, but finally aired in 1994.

Life = Death = Life ... a poem. After Lover Man, this is probably my most successful video. It was created in France and it took over 24 hours to render frame by frame. I wrote the poem in Paris, in the midddle of a very existentialist moment in my life.
