Investigando en diferentes áreas artísticas, Vira-lata va mudando según sus inquietudes, situaciones, posibilidades o necesidades. Su finalidad ética es conocernos mejor a través del mundo que nos rodea. Cuando hablamos de un Vira-lata, nos referimos a una actitud, de la cual intentamos aprender.

Vira-lata was born during our stay in Vila Matos, Salvador de Bahia, BR (2004). It is an open project, where whole format fits and doesn’t exist a unique or lineal process, but a concept and ways of work with a common base. Pretends to show things that “change direction”, that have different views, by investigation of different artistic areas such illustration, design, animation... Vira-lata is a body in continuous transformation that moves depending on our interests, situations, possibilities or needs. Talking about a “Vira-lata”, we refer to an attitude, we try to learn from.

Hemodialysis and Quimioteria Room Ephemeral mural intervention mural.
