In its search for the dream destination, the tourism industry has been acquiring and transforming countless places to turn them into the expected topical image of them. The imaginary created through this business offers us an aseptic landscape emptied of history. The projects I am carrying out focus on the idea of tourism as a new method of colonization, and branch out into other aspects such as the idea of a pre-designed paradise, the new forms of border and the vision of cruise ships and resorts as new republics. 

My interest in these issues stems from the fact that I was born and grew up in Ibiza, an island known worldwide for its discotheques, being also a favourite destination for sun and beach tourism. The history of this island, like so many others, is reduced to a postcard that reflects what can easily be consumed, being reduced to the most superficial myth. For this reason I decided to carry out Donde nada ocurre, a project centred on five abandoned discotheques in Ibiza, and through their stories delve into the origins of what today is a millionaire business that attracts thousands of people every summer. 

My most recent projects focused on the coasts where the conquest of America, Puerto Rico and Cartagena began; two of the most important ports for the Flota de Indias, which ceased to receive galleons and became cruise ships. The last project I am carrying out is "Prora", a resort built in Nazi Germany that has been converted into luxury apartments and hotels.
