What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately, I\u2019ve been starting to work on translations, mainly of poetry and essays, though I hope to soon feel ready to tackle longer formats, like novels. I\u2019ve also been experimenting with projects where my academic research and creative work can find common ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I\u2019ve rarely approached photography with a specific goal in mind; it has accompanied me over many years\u2014through relocations, relationships, trips, walks, grief, and more. A way to keep a record. It\u2019s a medium through which I\u2019ve learned not to be overly self-demanding, allowing room for chance, play, and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closeness, tact, confusion, entanglement. There\u2019s also a word I\u2019ve been thinking about a lot \u2014looming<\/em>\u2014 something about to happen or emerge, a kind of foreboding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of my main influences are writers who work with diaries or with intimacy, such as Ana\u00efs Nin<\/a>, Alejandra Pizarnik<\/a>, Annie Ernaux<\/a>, Anne Carson<\/a>, Chantal Akerman<\/a>, Ana Mendieta<\/a> and Francesca Woodman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a bit of \u201carchival disorder\u201d and get distracted easily. I struggle to shape my creative processes. I take many notes, have full folders that are unorganized, accumulate objects, leave things unfinished, jump from one place to another. For me, it's a challenge to be methodical and know where I want to go with an idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altitude sickness<\/em>, with a soundtrack<\/em> by Juana Molina<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any breakfast spot that serves quesadillas de flor de calabaza and caf\u00e9 de olla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recommend us an artist you follow who inspires you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their work is very diverse, but I admire the ways they think about their relationship with the body, the landscape, animals, and emotions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
