Boombox 
This scenographic installation was at Santa Monica Arts Centre, Barcelona.     'An explosion of the Art Center, it transforms the existing architecture in order to change the perception and experience of the site. The basic module .. is the cardboard box. Appropriated from its original use, it... retains the symbol of an ordinary container for the nomad.'

'Ecological strategies often generate an over-production of materials....
The real ecological combat is in ...the re-appropriation of materials and experimentation with ready-made objects.....
The project for student housing on rue Amelot (Paris) inserts itself into an urban interstice: the thickness of a blind wall.'
