For thirty years, I made artworks.
I tried to make things perceptible that ordinarily remain beyond our senses —
through photography, EEG, satellites, spectrometers, signals and light.

The Atlas of the Invisible
In 2026, I stopped.
Not because I had stopped being an artist.
I had begun to question the need to transform experience into representation at all.
We live in a time in which an increasing part of reality reaches us through images and screens —
and in which images themselves no longer require reality in order to exist.
I decided to move in the opposite direction.
I stopped making images.
I enter places, situations and encounters. I remain physically present in them.
At times, my body is recorded.
The instrument does not record the experience. It cannot.
It leaves only an imperfect physiological trace of something that happened to a body at a particular moment.
I do not interpret this trace.
I do not visualize it.
It is not the experience. It is only the trace that remains.
Each experience enters a lifelong numbered archive.
A recorded trace can be preserved.
It can be transferred.
It can be acquired.
The experience cannot.
The experience remains mine.
In a world producing ever more representations of reality,
I have chosen to remain with reality itself.
