He has participated in exhibitions such as A Map of Misreading, TENT, Rotterdam; Somewhere Else, Nogueras-Blanchard, Barcelona; Antes que todo [Before Everything], CA2M, Móstoles; Basado en hechos reales [Based on Real Events], ARTIUM, Vitoria; Everything is out there, La Casa Encendida, Madrid; and Delimitations, Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Israel.
