Lava

La Buga del Lobo is one of the most emblematic places in Lavapiés, a multicultural neighborhood in the center of the city. The lava lamp (also called "Astro Lamp") was a countercultural icon of the hippie movement in the 1960s-70s. OTTSTUFF wanted to reinterpret it as a nod to that alternative nature of Lavapiés, playing with his icon and the Gestalt principles of visual perception. Anecdotally, the title "Lava" borders on the amphibology between the representational and the contextual (shorthand for Lavapiés).
