The project presented here focuses on the experiences lived in the urban space of Paris during a period of four months.  Its production has been worked from the memory and appealing to the memory, which is reflected in the platforms, cracks and voids distributed inside the containers, and that allow to organize space and time and, therefore, create places.


Cities are inhabited and, as a consequence, constructed. Geometric dislocations, distortions in parallelism and incomplete couplings of forms are some of the features that define the work done on the city of Paris. 


This construction is first made in our mind, through sketches of lived experiences and inhabited places, and then it takes shape three-dimensionally in the construction of works, sketches, artist's books, etc....


Another concept associated with this work and the way we perceive the city, and ultimately space, is time. Unlike classical time, which could be reduced to zero and controlled (a time that had a beginning and an order in expansion), modern time is presented to us as an explosion in which there is no single time, but different times. Times in which our experience of reality unfolds.
