En tránsito (In transit) | Site specific proyect
A series of triangular textiles, tensioned at their vertices, intervenes in the architecture through three parabolic trajectories. The work unfolds as a spatial transformation in transit between one moment and another, activating the double-height spaces, balconies, circulation paths, and views toward the city. Rather than being perceived from a single viewpoint, the intervention reveals itself through movement. As visitors circulate through the space, the textile forms shift in perception, establishing a dialogue between architecture, structure, urban context, and contemporary history. A site-specific work conceived as a dynamic relationship between material, tension, movement, and space.

MIGRANTE | Site-Specific Project The proyect is a site-specific intervention developed for the Pinamar Forest inspired by megalithic monuments as ancestral traces of the formation of new territories and cultures. The project proposes a journey through three symbolic structures like Dolmen, Cromlech, and Menhir representing different dimensions of collective experience: encounter, ceremony, and closure. The intervention explores how a space can become a place of belonging and community building, drawing on archetypal forms associated with territory, ritual, and collective memory.

Exhibition design for the FADU–UBA Art Gallery, developed around the spatial conditions of the venue and the visitor’s journey. The project makes use of the gallery’s existing mobile display systems to organize the exhibition, create different scales of interaction, and introduce variations in the rhythm of circulation.
The proposal brings together artworks, photographs, and objects through a range of display strategies, while incorporating views toward the exterior and accessibility considerations to create a fluid and inclusive visitor experience. Curator María Ortiz.
