What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
Over the past few years, I have been working on a personal project about football. It is a story about the sport and everything that happens around it. The form of the project has changed as the years have passed; this year it should conclude in an exhibition and/or some kind of publication featuring this material.
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
That you can have something in mind, but in reality everything keeps changing, and that it is necessary to flow with the project as it unfolds and takes shape. It has taught me to be a bit more persistent and more organized when working with photography.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Equality, respect, friendship, solidarity, collectivity, and shelter.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
God is Round, Los Once de la Tribu by Juan Villoro, and Soccer in Sun and Shadow by Eduardo Galeano.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
It requires time to organize myself: finding the fields before visiting them and looking up match schedules. Especially in urban areas, schedules are more limited, but it is something that unfolds in a more organic way, without too many setbacks.
What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I like tacos de canasta.
If your life this month were a movie, what would its title be?
Externalizing the light of the word and the heart.
