The purpose of the alicenations research (1996–1998) was to illustrate the two Alice books, seeking a new relationship between text and image, in search of an approximation of Alice and her complexity. The characters of the two works were constructed through assemblages with different objects, according to their logical attributes, names, meanings incorporated by everyday use and formal characteristics. As a great game, the aim was to lay bare unforeseen relationships, unravel implicit logics, re-propose riddles and alicedelic paradoxes.

These are few examples of the assemblages. In the next phase, these photos were transformed in digital collages.
