Surely, this is because of my background as sculptor. In October 2000, with the video "To: Me" I began to transform my use of media into self-portraits incorporating everyday scenes, continuing with the construction of scenes in which I act (Hola y chao) and finding the traces that identify my personality linked with the urban scene: this will finally culminate with the development of a project that consists of three parts and finishes in public action. This entire project is supported by many songs from my own collection, which direct my steps to develop them into artworks. Roger Atasi, Jr. |
