Juan Carlos Federico


Alot of his design work is completely different to this, but i love this series of little mechanical looking creatures; i like the idea of experimenting further in 3D using found objects, particularly metal & mechanical objects. I think these materials add a cold, emotionless aspect to the piece, and thats something that could be appropriate in trying to express Hunter S Thompson's view of Las Vegas. (Major project is gonna be based around Fear & Loathing)
Some of them look really quite sinister, others are more quirky & amusing. Also, as his views are expressed largely through one long acid/mescaline trip, i think the idea of inanimate objects coming to life fits quite well. Im assuming in alot of cases hes not actually made the thing but photographed the individual parts and put them together digitally, ill definetly email him & find out more though. Hes Argentinian, i hope he'll speak English.
