Gaslighting. In their transgressive yet celebratory work, the 3 artist of the collective explore the mystery and depth of the human psyche as a way to break through chaos to creativity and unfettered imagination.
Mondongo, an internationally recognized Argentinean artist
collective, is comprised of Juliana Laffitte, Manuel Mendanha,
and Agustina Picasso.
In their transgressive yet celebratory work, Mondongo explore
the mystery and depth of the human psyche as a way to break
through chaos to creativity and unfettered imagination.
Mondongo's Romeo y Julieta series captures the myth of romantic
love and longing in a very Mondongan fashion: the plaguing
adolescent ennui, the unbridled lust, and inevitable doom are
subtly rendered in "paintings without paint"—slow, intricate,
and beautiful works made from such materials as thread, beads,
plasticine, cookies, and glitter.
Mondongo are in the collections of important museums both locally
and internationally and have recently completed a project with
fashion company Comme des Garçons, an early explorer of the
crossover between art and fashion. Comme des Garçons work with
artists who, in the company's words "mix strength and beauty."
