    Unter uns

    They live among us, unnoticed, until we need them. Paper beings carrying virtues: wisdom, tolerance, joy, curiosity, and others still being found. Unter uns, each one waiting for the right person.

    The Sun Dies in the Mountains

    "The sun dies in the mountains" starts at a funeral in San Jerónimo Tlacochahuaya, Oaxaca: Mónica's. Photography and embroidery meet to go back to that farewell. Threads from an embroidered portrait and a landscape of the sierra fall toward a topographic model, winding around the exact spot where her house still stands.

    Tolerance

    Five sightings on record, not scattered like most but following a path: rock, fog, a lookout, a meadow, then a city. Each one closer to where she was needed. In the last, she grew taller than the rooftops around her, and let herself be found.

    Rosco

    ROSCO is geometry and a bow tie: a fifteen-centimeter polygonal vinyl figure built from the same energy as the urban art scene. Body and bow tie are chosen independently, so every ROSCO becomes its own combination.

    Sabino

    Five sightings on record, each one unplanned. He appears where someone needs him, recognized at once, gone before he can be questioned. The file stays open for more.

Started with
a toy and
two lands.

We work in paper, embroidery, photography, and 3D between Germany and Mexico. Most of what we make comes from the distance between where we are and where we're from.
