“Me gustaría investigar cómo el paisaje afecta la cultura y el medio ambiente. Me interesa la presencia del espacio y la experiencia, así como la intuición relacionada con él. Leí que uno de los significados vallisoletanos es “valle de aguas”, refiriéndose a la confluencia de ríos en la zona. En el centro de la creación de este proyecto estaría la investigación artística de los dos ríos que desembocan en Valladolid y su significado para tu ciudad. Me interesa el hecho de cómo la confluencia de dos ríos determina el comportamiento de las personas que viven aquí, la sinergia entre la vida de la naturaleza y las personas, narrativas peculiares y simbólicas de la vida. Me gustaría insertarme en el paisaje del río y reflexionar sobre lo que me da a mí y lo que le da a las personas que conviven con el paisaje y cuánto es importante esta convivencia en sus narrativas de vida.”

PROJECT
"I would like to research how does landscape affect culture and evironment. I am interested in presence of space and experience as well as intuition related to it. I read that one of the Valladolid meaning is "valley of waters", referring to the confluence of rivers in the area. At the centre of this project creation would be the artistic research of the two rivers, that flow into each other in Valladolid and their significance to your city. I am interested in the fact how the confluence of two rivers determines the behaviour of people who live here, the synergy between the lives of nature and people, would like to insert myself to the river landscape and reflect on what it gives to me and what gives to people who coexist with the landscape and how much is this coexistence important in their narratives of life".
