5. 'LA LUNA' Video Installation for Maria de Alvear´s 'LIBERTAD'
    4/4/1998, Darmstadt, Germany

Adjusting to each space specifically, her work is based mainly on multimedia installations, where videos, films, slides and big format photography, as well as the viewers, play an important role.

6. 'PAISAJES I' Video (Duration 00:40:10)'

Through the cooperation with her sister, she began to work in Avangard Music productions experimenting the interactions between Sound and Imaging, interrelating the auditive and visual senses to be able to transport the performers and audience to physical and spiritual sensorial spaces.
(Time is non Stopping)

7. 'THE LIGHT OF THE LINE' Video Installation for 'Blanks' from Nader Machajeki
    23/3/1999 M.E.I.A.C., Badajoz, Spain.
8. 'TAMBORES' Video Installation for 'Time is non Stopping' with Maria de Alvear
    and Drums off Chaos, 10/12/1998, Christuskierche, Cologne, Germany.

At the same time, the fascination in the aesthetic sense of simplicity where microcosmos and macrocosmos interact within an interchangeable poetic makes it possible to separate the elements off the reality to which they belong, changing its intrinsic meaning.
(Fabricando Pan)

    de la Guerra, Madrid, Spain.
10. 'CRISS - CROSS' Video Installation. April - June 2000, Galerie Carmen
    de la Guerra, Madrid, Spain.

This metamorphosis concerns the materialization of the space reality through the changes of perspective, which evokes a dialogue that transforms the physical and spiritual perception of the viewer, induced into a poetic space full of emotions and highly aesthetic.
