SUPERSTUDIO

PEOPLEText: Gisella Lifchitz

“We want to change, we’re sick of doing always the same thing, we need to evolve and that need is what led us where we are right now”, Ezequiel affirms. “We started with design, and then we did animation, then motion graphics and short movies. Now we’re preparing another movie less abstract than our previous work. I think we could end up making a long movie. We may seem not quite able to specialize in anything in particular, but we can’t help it, it’s in our nature”.

Their influences go through op art to punk rock music, plus Spanish and French surreal movement, Bauhaus, David Lynch, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Marcel Duchamp, Luis Bunuel, among others.

Last year they showed the short film “Invertido” (Inverted) in George Melies XXIII short movies contest from Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay and they won the third price. The film creates a surreal situation of a man whose life is full of contradictions, where dreams play often the main character.

Marcos and Ezequiel complement each other, apparently Marcos is more aware of the content of everything they work on and Ezequiel takes care of the shape. When asked about what they want to express, they agree on one thing: they want to produce “an abominable shock, a wake-up show, something irrational close to destruction, but based on good intentions”.
