Differently from other artists that conceptualize their works as documented performances, in my videos is inherited something completely different. They are not trying to describe something rather to infer. This narrative style, which accidentally is related to the American cinematography, inherits in its totality a cinematographic context. In these videos which belong particularly to the year 2007, the camera recycles certain avangards of the film like nouvelle vague , underground cinema, film noir and above all is attached to the 90s video artists like Steve McQueen, Tacita Dean or emergent artist like Anri Sala or Ruma Islam. In this aspect it doesn’t bother me the recycling context or the resemblance. That what interests me is what comes out of videoart looking at the cinema, which in my opinion is a novelty and presence which will not be exhausted in the art of millennium. I hope that my productions will carry naturally this context and this feeling, in which things are not happening accidentally, but thanks to a long reflection and study to what will go.
