Born in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba in 1977, Currently lives and works in Mexico City.
One of the most interesting tensions in his work is the one that rises precisely between the public space (which is his stage) and the demand of his presence in the world of art conventions. In the streets he becomes invisible when all the individuals who surround him without any notion of being witnessing art, try to detect the meaning of his actions, and unable to find any conventional meaning they become invisible again (because they cannot be measured).
He is there but he isn’t. He works with the public space but doesn’t talk about or with the public space, he is not even accessible to such street public. He has more spectators than any museum, but he doesn’t speak with or about them; the dialog is from and in his own world. Jimmy claims that there is nothing that can suggest to the people who see him that is art what he is performing. Jimmy is interested in the indefinition zone of art, he works there, more seduced by the street characters and the common people than the art works. He sees performance as a way of life more than an established way of doing art.
