In 2024, he was awarded the Oxenford Grant for field research on the European network of participatory markets.

He is a founding member of “las deudas,” a platform for research and experimentation in art, economics, and labor.
Statement
My practice encompasses painting, installation, conceptual art, performativity, and film. I investigate the spectral processes that traverse images and the imperceptible materialities involved in their formation. My work explores the ways in which images fade, mutate, and transform, attending to the tensions between form, matter, and meaning, as well as to the conditions that shape their circulation and value.
