Arturo Lopez, better known as El Pío, a guy who is armed with a retro projector, china ink, baking soda, a glass of water, acetates and a powerful visual imagination, drawing on a screen and projected all kinds of stories and characters . This handmade animation technique in real time that he calls simply Cinema a mano, everything changes constantly: your mouth turns into a spiral, a flock of birds becomes a bottleneck of cars, a subway car in a cell mutates crowded passenger overshadowed. In addition to the harsh beauty of its visual and pictorial stories without words, her stories have the charm of the ephemeral and the surprise of the random.
