Operating as a multimedia and conceptual laboratory\u2014where \u201c:mental\u201d stands for thought and \u201cKLINIK\u201d stands for action\u2014they merge their individual identities into a distinct third persona. With intimate language and ultra-contemporary tools, they render visible the invisible political strategies and social dynamics of today.<\/p>\n

Like a disco ball, their exhibitions reflect a selection of the duo\u2019s multifaceted approaches to their own universe. Resisting the boundaries of a single vocabulary or style, their world is both hedonistic and playful: when the viewer approaches to explore, they encounter both festivity and wonder. Yet beneath the shimmer lies violence, evoking the hangover of an intense party or the veiled beginning of an ending yet to come.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/luccastyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/we-are-the-walkers-42.png” title_text=”we-are-the-walkers-42″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”28%” width_tablet=”40%” width_phone=”50%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
