Biography
Aláez became popularly known in 1992, with an exhibition named Superficie ("surface"), held in Fundació Joan Miró's Espai 10. In this exhibition, Aláex showed three objects (Catwoman, Pantalón preservativo, and Mujeres en zapatos de plataforma) which were between pop art and gender critics, close to the performance art that became popular in the seventies.
She created the interior design project Geometrical Life, with César Rey and Daniel Holc. She is also Girls on Film's singer, and works with a musician named Ascii.disko. In 2003 she published Flúor, a book with pictures and texts where she depicted her deepest aesthetic thoughts.
