What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?<\/strong>
I\u2019m starting the year by organizing my archives, rearranging imaginaries, and facing the consequences of my immense good fortune. I\u2019m shifting my professional profile toward a more interdisciplinary practice, looking for new opportunities for growth and for exhibiting more of my work. At the same time, I\u2019m in different stages of post-production on two short films. The most recent one is my first fiction shot on 16mm as a cinematographer: a story about the body and longing, set among the streams and fields of Talpa de Allende, in Jalisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?<\/strong>
The change of pace has taught me to slow down, take problems more lightly, and recognize their absurdity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?<\/strong>
Many of my ideas come from phrases I\u2019ve read, dreams, or places I stumble upon by chance. A recurring dream I have is running without being able to stop, afraid that I\u2019ve missed something extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I travel, I\u2019m interested in learning about local legends, visiting cemeteries, and discovering new colors. I\u2019m drawn to the idea of photographing as a way of telling life through postcards.<\/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>
The last two books I read \u2014both of which I highly recommend\u2014 were Furia<\/em> from Clyo Mendoza<\/a><\/strong> and Ansibles, perfiladores y otras m\u00e1quinas de ingenio<\/em> from Andrea Chapela<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furia<\/strong> <\/a>is a violent story about finding belonging, interwoven with Mexican mysticism, while <\/a>Ansibles, perfiladores y otras m\u00e1quinas de ingenio<\/a><\/strong> depicts the devices we coexist with in a dystopian (distant?) future: machines that let us alter reality, erase memories, and stop time.<\/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>
I like to be transparent with my words and images. I recognize that sometimes it\u2019s hard for me to find a clear focus; I tend to drift between the general and the particular. I like to name things to understand them, and I try to defend the act of creating and sharing even in the midst of pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?<\/strong>
It\u2019s always a good day for a quebradita, shrimps or zetas zarandeadas at Los Mariscos Bitacheros<\/a><\/strong>. And for celebrating: Zorra<\/a><\/strong> and Tikuun<\/a><\/strong>.<\/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>
A crooked compass<\/em>. The soundtrack would be colorful, starting with \u00c1guas de Mar\u00e7o<\/em>, performed by Elis Regina<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.<\/strong>
Lately, I\u2019ve been revisiting the documentary work of Mary Ellen Mark <\/a><\/strong>after coming across a compilation of her photographs. Her portraits and her profound relationship with her subjects left me deeply impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along similar lines, the documentary Plaza de la Soledad<\/a><\/strong> (2016), by Maya Goded, will always be one of my favorites. I find it to be a moving, sincere, and playful portrait that celebrates resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constant and powerful source of inspiration is my friends, who encourage me to publish, share, and print my work: the intimate exhibitions and workshops of Andrea Godinez<\/a><\/strong> and Reyna Barragan<\/a><\/strong>; the personal fanzine and visual experimentation of Cynthia Lecona<\/strong><\/a>; and the fascinating analog animations by Brenda Arregoitia<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
