I Play, Therefore I AM
Is the motto of a group of artists from around the world, creative, innovative, spectacular. And full of secrets. In a world where all information can be found within a click, they know how to keep the mystery intact. With a mother as their base and in a universe where every artist wants to be seen, they claim anonymity. They are an atypical, colourful but very serious movement when it comes to their work.
