MONDONGO is a collective of artists who have been working together since 1999, currently made up of Juliana Laffitte (Buenos Aires, 1974) and Manuel Mendanha (Buenos Aires, 1976). Their works put the conceptual relationship between materiality and image into tension. In their productions they debate themes such as power, work, economy, sexuality, and develop different interpretations through the freedom in the use of materials, taking their work a step beyond the conventional in detail, in size, complexity and potential. Through unconventional materials –such as coloured mirrors, sweet biscuits, bread, meat, threads and plasticine– manipulated using original techniques and selected based on their content, they create ironic, fantastic and critical scenes, always privileging the narrative sense.
