Can you talk a little bit more about the exploration of voyeurism in your work?
I used to work with new technologies and social media and how it’s connected with art, that sometimes it's like the opposite when you are super millennial, the system is not so comfortable with millennials and social media. And I love to create a connection in these two worlds. I work with voyeurism more in how the body connects with the platform and with the screen, and how you can say the same with a screen than in live performance. This is more or less… like, in a sexual way, voyeurism is not my specialty. I love the naturality and the nudes, but it’s not in a sexual… my language is not about this. It’s more like, como, la naturaleza?
Nature?
Yeah, el cuerpo (the body), and how this connects with the new age.
So bridging nature and technology?
Yes, and when you put your body in social media you are doing voyeurism. You put your body on a screen and everyone can see it and you are not como no… no puedes ser consciente cuando la gente te está viendo.
Like, you don’t know when someone else is looking at you?
Yes, this is voyeurism.
That’s so interesting. So you’re drawing attention to the fact that we all partake in voyeurism, whether we are aware of it or not, when we participate in social media?
But I’m saying that you always, like when you have your page open for everyone, you are doing voyeurism because you cannot… a lot of people are watching you and you cannot control it.
How does dancing on the internet change the art itself?
I don’t know, it’s another language. You can edit your body, your video, and the timing, and the space. In dance, we work with space, time, composition. You can change everything and you can connect with wherever you want. Also, you lose a lot of things because you are not feeling the same energy. Dancers usually are not so comfortable with social media, but I think you need to be present and to take in the things about everything… With technology you can make a lot of things that you cannot do with live performance. Also the opposite… I don’t like... como quitar, echar, nada.
Quitar is, like, remove, right?
Yeah.
Ok, I get it. What music most inspires you?
I love a lot of different music. I like classical, electronic, and… sorry when I’m speaking English I forget a lot.
It’s okay, I’m the same with Spanish.
Like, experimental. Now I love Lucrecia Dalt. I did two videos with her. She is from South America, but she lives in Berlin.
