Process Statement
His personal project focuses on the place of all and sundry facing the alteration of urban spaces. The first part of it, named “Downtown Corrida”, draws a parallel between the demolition process of three-hundred-year-old town houses and a corrida show. The second part, “Here Soon”, transposes an actual everyday place and an ordinary way of living in the city into the aesthetics of the computer-generated images destined to promote luxury housing projects.
