ODDPEOPLE is designed as a way to take a trip among people. It’s a journey to discover the imagination of people which shifts its focus on the crowd, on festival hunters.
Because people want to look at themselves and they can’t help to look for each other. ODDPEOPLE’s calling is to mingle with the crowd.
We are trying to reveal the human cross-section, the theatrical company of one life moment act: “incredible lunar characters, cosmic travelers, glassy stared girls, artists, wrinkled mystics dressed in shabby clothes, psychedelic Beduins in a sandstorm, improbable pilots”.
Enumerating and attesting styles and costumes of a whole group of people that have chosen to identify with a social group rather than with an other. No matter what kind of roots, such as music, wine, political views, drugs or anything else, brings them together.
What stays behind for us is a precious story of what aggregates us and of what has brought us together once. A story of how these tribes change and evolve continuously, how, from this never-ending transformation, new criteria and aggregative rituals arise, new stylistic elements to follow, new characters to add to the gallery.
And sometimes, coming back from our trip we bring with us new wacky friends.
“I hope to see you again somewhere, guys” Eric wrote us in December.
