‘Hybris’ comprises a series of works inspired by a fragment from an article about climate change; Global warming – in many cases – has caused one species to delay its reproductive cycle until it coincides with that of the other species, sometimes one of the species begins to colonize a geographical space that was forbidden before.The mating and crossing of animals of different species and provenances forms a new hybrid species that sometimes survives and is fertile, sometimes it is born with malformations and mutations and dies. The piece is an exploration of a universe of light and sound that produces ephemeral beings that appear and disappear.
