My work reflects my interest in social structures and the construction of identity. I use tools like the Internet, photography and video to consider how my environment - the world I live in - affects both me and the people I am surrounded by. The different media help me to analyze reality in contrast to cultural and social projections. In my photographs, drawings and videos I focus on the digital manipulation. The borderline between reality and imagination is very important to me in order to channel desired media productions. My goal is to give shape to the strategies of self definition, which result from these productions.

Girls who like what? Porno, yes. Porno. Porno as the representation in images of sex. True sex. When we say porno we mean this. We reivindicate the pleasure of creating and consuming sex images.

Girls who don´t like some kind of porno, a porno restricted by sexism, racism, capitalism, patriarchy, gender boundaries and that leaves your compuer full with viruses.

We enjoy creating and cosuming the porno we like: intelligent, queer, open, free and plural.Since always, but as girlswholikeporno since 2002, we make videos, we take photos, we make workshops, we write, we vj, we perform and we have sex. (And we had the pleasure of doing it in Queeruption Barcelona 05, Sonar Festival Barcelona 04, Frauen Party Frankfurt 03 and in Private Parties all over the world...)

I work as an environmental artist and I make drawings and text pieces/ installations. My work focuses on the details of my surroundings. This piece was really challenging because it was so autobiographical, making a work about anger made me focus on the strength of words. I wanted to create something that would impact positively on the viewer and convey the emotion without resorting to shock techniques.
