Professor in ¨Film and Video Documentary¨: Faculty of Fine Arts. U.B. University of Barcelona, Spain.

Brief informative description of his work:
Since 1986 he works with experimental Video and Creative Documentaries, combining different narrative and experimental forms.
Besides this he also studies some musical courses, and in his videography a constant curiosity for various disciplines and expressions of contemporary creation can be seen.
He likes to define his work area as ¨Audiovisual Composition¨, because in his most recent works - be it in mono channel tape, installation or as a performance - sound and image dovetail and are constructed in a parallel manner.
As a saxophonist and flute player he has presented various live spectacles in which he combines music, image and dance.
Among these most recent presentations, the video-musical performance: ¨Huacheefe¨ and the video, music and dance performance: ¨Resonancia es Mímemis¨ (¨Resonance is Mimesis¨), stand out.
Since the year 1988 Sucari is related to the Audiovisual Education and Investigation department, he wrote in different communication media and he assisted at congresses and lectures related to the audio visual narrative construction.
Recently he advised the Caixaforum regarding the selection process of the documentary database for its mediathèque, and at the CCCB (Centre for Contemporary Culture of Barcelona) he advised considering the usage of audio visual material for distinct events and expositions.
