I don't know if it's true, but I don't care: I got a rumor that, many years ago, an artist submitted a proposal to the Gipuzkoa Noveles Artists Contest, when it was still a competition: I make a perfect copy of the work that receives the first prize. With that simple gesture, I turned everything upside down. In fact, the work that is generated by copying the work that receives the first prize accurately should also receive the first prize in itself. But if I got the first prize, I would have to make an exact copy of that copy, which should also receive the first prize, and so on in infinity. And that was a lot of complication. The jury rejected the gesture and turned aside.

If the rumor was true, the one who presented this proposal was Jon Mantzisidor Uria (Zumaia, 19 April 1973). And it makes sense that it is the same thing; many of the artistic proposals he has presented were also controversial in his day, to smile, to play. The lights in the showroom were removed from the ceiling and turned off were shown against the wall in the Rekalde Hall in 2007.

Their gestures often take a sign character, and sometimes turn signs into gestures. In this photographic work, when the priest spoke in the video, the sound was completely erased: digital silence. And when I was done, I heard the echo of the church, of the room and the noise of the people. This exposed the gestures of the hands and in the assembly of the exhibition made these pieces imitating with mud the hands and gestures of the cure.

He's an amateur putting on check signs with playful gestures. In other times, I had published amazing comics. He composed the music of Karidadeko Benta, a member of Gora Jape. Today, music focuses on improvisation.
