His projects are produced internationally in cooperation with different individuals and groups, and propose specific interventions and actions aimed at social transformation. His aesthetic research draws on such diverse registers as installations, sculpture, videos, sound, texts, photographic documentation, etc. In 2010 Ediciones Los Sentidos published his book Moving Around (Sobre nomadismo y nuevas prácticas de arte contemporáneo).
