I - T - Z - E- L



I’m a Mexican artist and architect based in London. My practice moves across writing, visual essays, poetry, workshops, performance,  and reshaping objects—always driven by curiosity about how stories emerge from personal experience and fieldwork. I explore labor, identity, and collective creation themes, often through participatory processes (online-offline).

Additionally, I’ve collaborated on socio-environmental projects, where I helped co-design workshops to return knowledge to local communities. This experience reshaped how I think about research, pushing me toward non-extractive methods and a performative posthumanist approach.

Invisible Structures (2023)


A performance centered on Xochimilco rowers and their embodied experience. This project emphasizes ethical collaboration with territorial actors, ensuring fair distribution of benefits and co-authorship through legal agreements. We signed a legal contract outlining the percentage of profits they are entitled to from the performance piece.
