This page introduces the things I’ve done in ethnography and creative practice. My work crosses anthropology, science and technology studies (STS), and urban research. Yet a common focus ties it together: fragments. These small traces and residues reveal the hidden complexity of everyday life. For me, ethnography is more than description. It is a curatorial and experimental method. I use fieldnotes, illustrations, and workshops not only to document but also to reimagine. In this way, research becomes analytical and imaginative at once.
Over the years, I have worked with formats that move beyond academic writing. For example, I create zines, digital cabinets, illustrated taxonomies, and sensory experiments. Alongside them, I publish articles, chapters, and talks. These forms complement each other, helping ethnography reach a wider audience.
The things I’ve done in ethnography are diverse, but they share one question: how can we make sense of life in fragmented and more-than-human worlds? My projects follow residues, urban infrastructures, multispecies encounters, and speculative archives. Each fragment becomes an opening to new ways of knowing. This page will gather projects, publications, and experiments. Together they form a cabinet of curiosities, reflecting an ongoing process of research and creativity.
Fragmented Ecologies
This project investigates how fragments—of plants, substances, and stories—circulate as forms of knowledge, care, and classification in Bogotá’s urban markets. It develops an experimental ethnographic method called fragmentography, which treats broken, partial, or drifting materials as analytical and curatorial entities. By combining ethnography, visual documentation, and poetic taxonomy, the project explores how vernacular and more-than-human epistemologies challenge Western systems of order, particularly those rooted in colonial science and botanical classification.

Illustrating Ethnography
Illustrating ethnography explores illustration as a mode of ethnographic thinking rather than representation. Created for an upcoming ethnographic book, the forty-one drawings translate fieldwork fragments into line and texture. The process revealed how drawing, like ethnography, is slow, uncertain, and attentive. Together, these illustrations form both an archive and a reflection—a way of asking what it means to illustrate ethnography and to think through images. Access

Infrastructuring Multispecies Encounters
Infrastructuring Multispecies Encounters investigates Berlin’s petting zoos as urban infrastructures where humans and animals co-produce space. Through multispecies ethnography, it examines the emergence of these sites, their spatial/organizational setups, and the everyday practices that choreograph watching, feeding, cleaning, and safeguarding. The project develops multimodal methods to render more-than-human urban assemblages visible and ethically debatable, contributing to anthropology, STS, and urban studies while producing map posters, an exhibition, and scholarly articles.

Tarde, an ethnography zine
Tarde, a handbook of minimal and irrelevant urban entanglements, was a DIY ethnographic zine that I created and edited to explore the everyday fragments of urban life. From the beginning, the project moved in deliberate tension: both do-it-yourself and professional, independent yet sometimes connected to institutions. At its core, Tarde was never a polished academic publication or a glossy cultural magazine. It lived in-between spaces—where ethnography became tactile, accessible, and provisional. Access
Studio Ethnography
For years, I’ve been learning from cities, studios, and streets — from walking through New York, Copenhagen, Barcelona, and Mexico City to watching designers, listening to music, and reading art books. These encounters have shaped my ethnography, teaching me that form is also a method. Studio ethnography explores how making, arranging, and experimenting transform observation into inquiry. Each reflection traces how anthropology can unfold through other fields, gestures, and ways of paying attention.. Access
