Policías y tránsfugas
2024
(editorial
photography/essay)

This editorial piece gathers research and an amateur essay on gender binarism and its regulation systems. It acts as a junk drawer, collecting ideas, references, actions, and graphic and visual experimentation, so that form and content support each other horizontally, and through design, they hybridize generating new ideas.

Conversaciones robadas
2022
(photography/
art direction/editorial)
w/María Canet, Jùlia Neddermann

When stories in the form of conversation are picked up by some momentary listener, they generate gaps that are patched into the imagination. In this project, a visual synthesis of this game is made, with real conversations heard in the street, giving freedom to the absurd.

Cyborg Manifesto coverbook
2023
(editorial/mapping)
w/Martina Morán

This cover proposal was born through material experimentation with the stencil technique. The variety of results of organic and geometric shapes, is related to the content of the book itself (human-machine, machine-nature relationship), and leads to a dual proposal of a printed cover and an animated mapped cover.

-.Look me tender
2022
(editorial)
This photobook contains a sample of the work of photographer Pablo A. Rodríguez. In an observation of his archive of images, a very concrete gesture is found: in those interactions that give off so much tenderness, there are never open eyes at sight. Through this gesture, a narrative is constructed that abstracts it and puts it in value.

Ojalá el drag muera
2023
(editorial)
This zine, with texts from Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues, explores the relevance of gender-dissident figures as generators of new realities, and gender as a construct. It raises questions: what do we consider drag? Where is the border between drag and everyday life? Is the disappearence of drag as we understand it, the ultimate sign of the naturalization of dissidence?
