Together with guest artists Sonia Franken (DEU/ UK) and Gonzalo Barahona (CHL) form El Cuco Projekt and work on the creation of the masks and hybrid creatures as well as on their animation and bizarre performances. With animal masks, human bodies in movement generate dissimilar characters. They become sculptures, paintings and cartoons at the same time: they are simultanously animal, human AND thing.
