The book includes stories from Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Frank Black, Justin Vernon, Laura Marling, Devendra Banhart, Alison Mosshart and Kathleen Hanna as well as painters/illustrators like Anthony Lister, Dan Baldwin, Swoon, Will Barras, James Jean, Ronzo, Kai & Sunny  and more.

Artist Residency at The Center for Art and Design Ses Voltes. Palma de Mallorca

Production and development of the project ‘Greetings from the Desert’. This work was the second collaboration between Me and the Machine and  Lidia de Pedro.

‘Greetings from the Desert’ consisted of a series of four kinetic audiovisual installations each set up on a different ordinary door. A video screen on the backside of each spy-hole, basic loudspeakers and a synchronized ‘mechanical knocker’ created a strong illusion of insurmountable physical proximity and impossible intimacy between the two persons on each side of the door (you and …).

Nov 2014

‘X ES BUENO’. Palma de Mallorca

Project developed on a residency at Can Tiró in collaboration with Clara García Fraile (Me and the Machine).

“X es bueno” was a site specific archive of fictional documentation for the farm of Can Tiro.

An audio walk through pigsties, stables, horse cemeteries, a desert and an enchanted forest, leading into a cellar, papered in photographs.  A rhizomatic piece of visual, philosophical and auditive memory of resistance, dreams, readings, lives and deaths. A few weeks later, inhabitants got evicted, doors locked and forests cut down.

Commissioned illustration work (Story 02) for Project Maldonado. Echo Location Talent Agency. London

Sep 2014

Solo show ‘TO THE MOON’. Rhodes Contemporary Art. London

The paintings, light installation, mirrors, visuals and sound illustrated our relationship to money and power, and attempted to deconstruct the complex narratives and systems that lie behind these concepts. The sound represented the chaos, fear and unbridled optimism. Multiple animalistic calls altogether described the nature in which humans trade.
