8'36'' loop
Sixteen musicians come from the four extremities of a cross, 4 from each side, wearing 4 colors: yellow, red, blue and green. The four groups (one with the ride cymbals, one with the snare and bass drums, one with the trumpets and trombones and one with the baritone saxhorns and tubas) each one at a time, come into action, playing the sounds in a chaotic way until they’ve reached the crossing point of the cross. When they all meet, face to face, they begin a duel, which ends up in a choreography where the musicians exchange places, forming then four music bands of colors and mixed instruments. At the sound of the same song finally in harmony, the musicians leave the crossing point, each one at a time and spread around, through the four ways of the cross.

In a road, apparently quiet, something is seen being thrown from one end to the other, an object that is hit back and forth (from outside the square) and back again to the scene. Soon, other objects are thrown, filling up the square: rocks, boots, helmets, uniforms, broom sticks, a steering wheel, a wheel, a toilet pipe, tools, a tub, tires, buckets, domestic appliances, a whole world that comes to the surface in a stream that converts, immediately, in something similar to a ruin. From the opposite side, from where the objects where thrown, a strike-back is planned; gas bombs are thrown at the other end of the square, spreading smoke throughout the area. Soon, under the same fog, a new conflict is about to hatch in some other place, retaking the conflicts and human passions that life is about, the beauty and horror of a century.

One JCB machine goes through the form of an infinite symbol transporting dirt from one side to the other and then repeats the movement from that side back to the other, like a kind of enlarged sand filled hour glass that never stops rotating.

Two air currents create abstract shapes on rows of powder. A subtle and yet powerful interpretation of sex and maybe love.

1 firefighter truck constantly drives in a perfect circle with its hose shooting water to the centre of the geometric figure, provoking the image of a fountain in reverse. This project was realized in collaboration with the Fire Department of Belo Horizonte, Brazil and the Biennial of Lyon: The 00s – The History of a Decade that has not yet been named, France.

8 jugglers are found simultaneously on a crosswalk, provoking noise made by cars that are eager to go through the traffic light. Ever two acrobats get onto the street in order to make a barrier under the green traffic light. The power of the fire and the acrobat’s skills challenge the loud horn of the cars. How many jugglers are playing with fire on a crosswalk right now?

9 white vans move around the same square, where they can all be seen at the same time. The vehicles enter one at a time into the circuit, moving simultaneously around the place. The vans leave the square the same way they did to enter, leaving a track in an empty space. How many vans are moving around squares right now?
