Basta (“Enough”), 2017
Installation in favour of a dignified death, which poses the ethical problem of the moral legitimacy of futile medical care.

in the twilight of one’s life.
Party at the hospice, 2008
Depicts an elderly lady
sadly waiting for a birthday
that will never be celebrated.
This work expresses the solitude
of old age and the abandonment
of elderly people in places
where they are confined to die.
Falcon verde, 2009
The expression “Falcon verde” remains engraved in the collective memories of Argentinians as a symbol of State terror.
This piece makes reference to the arbitrary abductions during the years
of the military dictatorship in Argentina.
Process of destruction
of the middle class, 2001-2017
This video artwork, a metaphor for the destruction of the Argentinian
middle class, shows us rats slowly devouring three characters who
remain impassive, without reacting before such voracity.
