Socioplastics is a long-term artistic research project developed between 2010 and 2025. It brings together architecture, art, performance, and social practice to explore how space, bodies, and relationships can be rethought through simple actions and temporary structures. Rather than producing objects, the project focuses on situations, encounters, and shared experiences. At its core, Socioplastics understands architecture as a social and emotional process. It works with light materials, everyday gestures, and collective participation to activate spaces that are usually invisible or taken for granted. The projects do not aim to last forever; they exist in time, through use, memory, and repetition. Ephemeral
Architectures and Ritual Actions - Works such as House and Dome, The Wood Way, Fast Heartbeat, or Lemon Kiss explore how the body becomes a tool for perception and connection. These actions transform walking, breathing, touching, or waiting into architectural gestures. Ritual is not symbolic but practical: a way to slow down, to pay attention, and to create presence in a distracted world. Architecture here is not a fixed structure but a temporary condition. It appears, disappears, and leaves traces in people rather than in buildings. Relational Objects and Situational Devices - Projects like Yellow Bag, Blue Bag, and Green Briefcase function as mobile social tools. They collect experiences, materials, and encounters while moving through different cities and contexts. These objects are not artworks in the traditional sense; they are carriers of relationships, activated through use and shared responsibility. Each object becomes a small archive of gestures, conversations, and moments. Their value lies not in preservation, but in circulation and transformation.
Urban Space as a Social Field - Interventions such as Spanish Bar, LACALLE, or Restoran Splendid use the city as a platform for collective experience. Bars, streets, and temporary structures become spaces for dialogue, listening, and co-presence. The urban environment is treated not as scenery, but as a living participant. These projects question authorship, ownership, and permanence, proposing instead a model of shared creation based on care, repetition, and attention. A Living Archive - Socioplastics is not a closed body of work. It functions as a living archive that grows through practice, movement, and collaboration. Documentation is not an end point but a tool for transmission. Each action leaves a trace that can be reactivated in new contexts. Through this ongoing process, Socioplastics proposes an ethics of making rooted in attention, vulnerability, and collective responsibility. It suggests that art can operate as a quiet infrastructure for connection—light, adaptable, and deeply human.
