Pasatiempos is a play space that connects us with the image in a playful way, and reflects on the problem of temporality
in the contemporary subject, who is lost in the entertainment culture and runs to procure superfluous amusements.

Through drawing, it seeks to create an interactive action where the reader become the co-author in of the book,
both in the presentation in the museum and in the editorial strategy. The book contains laberithms, cross words, find the difference, and letters soups. As well as two texts of Michel Blancsubé and Ruth Estévez. Pasatiempos is distributed in the public space, newsstands and metro.

The presentation in Laboratorio Arte Alameda involved, a big drawing on the walls, an animated projection, school chairs silk-screen printed with games, a table with a players registration and a cronomether to measure how much time you spend in each game. Everything was to be completed by the viewer.

The scope of my work is very broad because it is in permanent dialogue with the changing social rhythms, time perceptions and political landscapes.
