As we explore the planet, one of our favorite things is getting up in other people’s business. Our M.O. is “Shoot first and ask questions later.” At El Ingenio, a shop dedicated to papier-mâché costumes, puppets and carnival masks since 1830, we slipped quietly into the back room and filmed the artist in his workshop. He spoke no English and we exchanged no words. We simply captured a man at work. What a joy it is to see talented people do what they love. CAUTION: Do not watch if you suffer from fear of clowns.
We were there!
That was a treat in every way – thanks!
Who or what came home with you?
When traveling for so long, most of our souvenirs are digital. Though we can always find a place for an enormous papier-mâché cow…
Absolutely love this.
Amazing
Beautiful and scary all at once.
What a wonderful experience. To intimately watch an artist create is so very personal. I am sure Finn was enthralled. What date were you at the studio? We have been following you since met met in Turkey. Bon chance.
Lovely.
