“In our view Rafael is one of the European stars of narrative performance,always witty, challenging, sensitive and
engaging in a way unlike anyone else we’ve ever come across. What more can we say apart make sure you see this.”
Nlab @ the Tate Britain 2008

The photography and video images are processed with a computer into rhythmical sequences.

at the ICA (Institute for Contemporary Arts in London), Outvidéo in Russia, Vidéoformes in France, etc…”
