A cultural wanderer, jack of many trades and all-around mover ’n shaker, MARCELO BURLON’s oeuvre, from styling to photography and film-maker, from clubbing to art direction, is an endlessly morphing monument to the power of contamination.
A line of tees is Marcelo’s latest venture. The t-shirt: clothing at its most basic and effective. The wearable equivalent of a blank canvas: a playground, a declaration of intents; a political manifesto, even. Marcelo uses t-shirts as a launch-pad for his multi-culti vision centered around the idea of self-determination as revolutionary tool.
Drawing iconographic elements from different cultures – Mapuches crosses from Patagonia, Argentinean birds feathers, esoteric symbols, nods to rave and club culture, plus muse Lea T as an icon of reinvention – Marcelo creates his very own symbology.
Printed on black tees and developed by graphic designer Giorgio Di Salvo, motifs have a kaleidoscopic quality: visually arresting and bold, they keep you guessing.
The T-Shirt Collection Going to be available from JUNE 23RD to JULY 26TH 2012 at Showroom Marcona 3.
