A Tempo

A tempo: Sculpture in four movements | Kika Vargas runway show at BCapital, an annual fashion event that takes place in the city of Bogotá | Stage designer

 A Tempo gives an unconventional approach to a runway show through theatrical techniques. Live musicians, actors, dancers and an opera singer join the models on a carefully choreographed performance.

A Tempo took a playful approach to seasons since a tropical country has no seasons. Still, the fashion calendar is ruled by them. Each movement brings a new wave of movement that enlivens the scenario. The stage is inspired by nature: a geological abstraction that dialogued closely with the inspiration of the collection.

Fake News 24/7

– In collaboration with Hau Yuan, Jiyao Zhang and Marco Wylie

Breaking News 24/7 is an interactive window display that makes people question what is real and what is fake. For this project, we designed the whole window as a giant TV screen displaying problematic and controversial news we found on the Internet. The newscaster, the iconic and most appealing element of our project, is a Pinocchio, who is notably characterized for his frequent tendency to lie, which causes his nose to grow. We borrowed this concept from a nearly universal cultural icon to symbolize “lie.”

Breaking News 24/7 was showed at Skirball Center for the Performing Arts as part of POP UP WINDOWS 2018 and at Tisch School of the Arts main window for ITP WINTER SHOW 2018

Workshop: Ciegas & Caleidoscópicas

Experimental illustration workshop. Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá. 2018 | Mariposas ciegas; miradas calidoscópicas. O cómo dibujar un insecto, a drawing workshop developed with the support of the Design and Biology departments of the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia.

Inspired by insects and dedicated to the work of naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian, this workshop explores the creative process of drawing through fast strokes, unexpected compositions and different techniques. Mistakes are embraced as part of the finals compositions of our the final plates. A scientific illustration is one that communicates visually the structure and specific details of biological subjects; this workshop aims to develop skills of close observation and plastic exploration.

Maria Sybilla Merian is considered one of the founders of Ecology. Insects were her leitmotif, she looked and depicted the natural world as no one did before, she went on expeditions to South America and financed her publication long before it was fashionable, this workshop is dedicated to her.

This is the second edition of Blind butterflies and kaleidoscopic eyes, or how to draw like an insect.

Workshop: Blind & Kaleidoscopic.
