His work investigates countercultural manifestations from the popular world, using a vernacular language full of political imagery and biographical references. He has developed a body of work that moves between sound art and popular music, through which he reinterprets artistic processes from performance and experimental literature, shifting them to local codes and the industry, in exhibition spaces and cultural consumption venues such as museums, galleries, record stores, bars, and plazas. Engages with the history of various cultural movements and questions the role of art within them.
