since 2002 I've been working as a lighting designer, mostly for independent dance projects, and then sometimes for music and small opera productions. I studied at the Instituto Universitario Nacional de Artes (IUNA - National Arts University), in Buenos Aires, though I didn't graduate because I decided, before finishing my studies there, to move to The Netherlands.
I'm interested in lighting that creates spaces and dynamics somewhat autonomously from the performers; a kind of extra player on stage with which also dancers and musicians (or dance and music) have to interact. not a subsidiary or functional element but a layer that challenges and triggers newness inside a performance. household or industrial or rare lighting sources produce unexpected dynamics. working with elements that can't be completely controlled adds an interesting friction.
a sense of time and movement, the musicality of lighting, excites me more than the creation of images. managing the timing of changes makes changes visible or invisible and establishes their relation to the dramaturgy of the performance.
the tactility of lighting and its relation to movement and vibration. lately I've been moving non-moving lights: creating structures where the shift from one light source to another produces a sense of movement rather than a big change in the image. slight angle variations within the same colour structures. a generous general lighting to allow visibility in order for changes in the lighting to be perceived as atmospheric movements rather than as a visual static variation. shifting between stimulating focalized and peripheral vision. very quick successions of changes, loops, chases.
and sometimes radically static lighting - a set light space of few light sources where the movement of the performers is responsible for producing variation through its diverse interactions with the light.
Through these years I designed lighting for projects by Simon Tanguy / Diego Gil & Igor Dobricic / William Collins / SNDO / Karnatic Lab / Alma Soderberg / Roger Sala Reyner / Rodrigo Sobarzo / Diana Theocharidis / Grupo Tercas Hembras Tuercas / Adrián Herrero / Aníbal Jiménez / Luis Garay / Gabily Anadón / Reinaldo Ribeiro / Grupo C'est tout / Teilo Troncy / Stephanie Luhn / Pablo Maritano / Marzena Kreminska / Magdalena Ptasznik / Oduduwá / Emanuel Ludueña / The Movement Network / Nederlands Fluit Orkest / Noha Ramadan / Anat Yaffe / Emma Wilson / Axyz Ensemble / Tomislav Feller / JiHae Ko / Doron Hirsch / Marijke Eliasberg.
I also authored an architectural lighting design project for the City of Pigüé (Buenos Aires, Argentina). I designed the lighting for the Monument to Clement Cabanettes, for the Monument to the 1st Argentinean Conscription, for the facade of the City Hall and for the facade of the Tourist Office. The project was presented by the end of 2004 but finally realized in the first semester of 2007.
