Costume Design for Public Space: A View from Complejo Conejo, Chilean Performance Collective.

Complejo Conejo is a Chilean design and performance collective that creates projects in public spaces, exploring concepts such as absurdity and masking. Their performances involve multiple performers wearing costumes that embody simple and absurd concepts, creating a walking idea that can be interpreted in multiple ways. The collective redefines spaces and daily traffic actions, providing an ephemeral spectacle to passers-by. Their recent performances involve performers imitating the movements of passers-by and exploring human creations in public spaces. The costumes are designed to subtract identity and create a crew, with the performers' skin completely covered until the end of the show. The collective's approach to costume design and performance comes from their participation in a walking exhibition in 2015, allowing them to explore the performativity of costumes in public spaces. The document discusses the costume design process of Complejo Conejo, emphasizing the importance of diversity in the costumes and the communication between the costumes and the diverse bodies in public spaces.
