Statement
Casanoves participates in the spontaneous outburst of form which dislocates the elements into so many autonomous parts, and in this effervescent outpouring which affirms it's deepest being. reality is constructed here in the fusion of rigid and flexible objects, in the decentralization of the frame, and in it's imbalance, which perturbs the codes of classical perception. His installations, videos, and audio recordings, using photography as a parallel medium, are part of ancient tales from the small mountain villages, medieval towns that preserve their roots and vestiges to this day. He collaborates with theatrical music and set design, addressing themes such as religious silence, the salt merchant, a place of disorder, the poetics of light, naphthalene and sugar, and the pale coyote
