“The first artwork I did was in collaboration with Mormons,” says the softly spoken Eduardo about his somewhat unorthodox yet increasingly successful career which has also seen him work with a therapist, a homeopathic doctor, a mountain climber and a volcanologist (among others). The Mormon piece, he says, “was a pagoda made from wood,” a reference, perhaps, to his days as an architecture student and continuing his fascination with United States’ artist Gordon Matta-Clark. “I invited [those Mormons] who would often come to my house to come and preach at that space, and invited others to attend and listen.”
Besides the architectural and the unexpected creative collaborations, Eduardo is known for sculptural works, videos and performances. As the Mormon piece attests, he likes situations where he is not entirely in control of his artwork, but those where there is a “fourth dimension” as he calls it: “where the audience is the artwork somehow. I am still working in the same way I think. The idea of collaborating or having the audience collaborating in a way that transforms them.”
