In 2011, our paths cossed in Colombia, leading to the creation of estudio elgozo on the vibrant Caribbean coast. Initially focused on communicating social and environmental projects in the country, our journey continued and in 2016, we found ourselves in Vienna. Here, we broadened our horizons by collaborating with a wide range of professionals – artists, urban architects and entrepreneurs. Throughout our evolution, joy has remained at the heart of our projects, infusing every endeavor with a spirit of creativity. Our migratory experience gives us the unique ability to straddle two worlds simultaneously, a dynamic that has become the catalyst for the development of our distinctive audio-visual pieces.
