鈥淲e are a studio made by women who are fascinated with stories.鈥 Est煤dio Bingo was established in 2015 by co-founders Eliza and Mariel. 鈥淎t the time, the market in Brazil didn鈥檛 feature photoshoots with people who weren鈥檛 professional models, or of different ages and body types,鈥 they recollect. 鈥淲e worked with people outside of this narrow lens to make Instagram content for brands. It was revolutionary.鈥 Since then, the duo has continued to fabricate bold and compelling project design, art direction, visual and post-production. Their portfolio, filled with colour, joy and fun, remains responsive to social and political issues. For Est煤dio Bingo, narrative is key. We Need Colours (2019) is satisfying in its co-ordination: eyeshadows, backdrops, clothing and props are carefully matched. Spiky limes and peppers, meanwhile, recall the unsettling objects of artist M茅ret Oppenheim (1913-1985), where opposing textures collide in something off-kilter. |
