My projects are situated at the intersection of technology and philosophy, where I analyse and alter present digital environments through aesthetic and critical narratives that occur between reality and fiction.

I have worked in the advertising and media industries as creative and art director. After years of questioning current digital visual cultures I decided to study and develop an artistic practice to expose the politics of the contemporary digital image.

FIAP SHORTLIST (2018)

PlayGround Do team worked with the Sindicato Popular de Vendedores Ambulantes for more than 10 months, helping them create a company, a fashion brand and a collection. The aim of the project was to find a way to get legal permits in order to be able to work in Spain. The ‘manteros’ already had an idea: Top Manta.

We organized afterwork workshops to help them learn assets on branding, illustration, printing... Famous designers and illustrators were interested in collaborating but, at the stage, we considered that giving them tools to develop everything by themselves was urgent.

 



The launch of the brand and the collection was celebrated with an event that ended up on a catwalk, where the ‘manteros’ modeled while exhibiting their very own clothing. A background video of the sea was projected while they where walking, as most of them left Senegal by boat, being the first time ever they had seen the ocean, to start a new life in Europe.
