Volver a pasar por el Corazón
Volver a pasar por el Corazón (To pass through the Heart again) is a four-channel video installation composed of a series of video performances exploring ideas related to parafiction and worldbuilding by playing with real and imagined memories, images, gestures, and words.
The title reflects on the body, mind, and spirit's circular, straightforward, twisted, or dead-end movements as carriers of an individual’s health-illness. The videos that make up this body of work attempt to remember, recollect, put in movement, and liberate mental, physical, and spiritual energies through a life span.

Volver a pasar por el Corazón is composed of the following works:
A trembling pile of documents and materials from the founding location of Los Angeles. The adobe, the brick, the community erasures, the angel of history, and the city of ghosts.
A delicious invocation where contradictions are standpoints against fictional oppositions and affinities are conjured by powerful desires.
Contours uses the United States Geological Survey’s map symbols to create a provisional assessment of the author’s geo-human features on April 19th, 2024.
A found report from 2049. The surrounding world is pictured through stills, objects, and words. This future doesn't seem as dystopian as expected as our present was already. Reality has always been delicate.
