MIMO is an artistic project based in Mexico City, that emerges as an act of evocation and resistance. We are a duo of self-taught creators (Greta Aparicio and Vania Ivaneka) who, from the margins of fashion and visual arts, explore the symbolic power of the object as talisman, as emotional archive, and as a portal to other times.
We design hats and jewelry not merely as adornments, but as artifacts imbued with meaning: amulets and contemporary reliquaries that weave together memory, identity, and desire.
We are inspired by aesthetics drawn from the postwar era, the medieval period, religious iconography, horror as an emotional language, and beauty as a mechanism for redemption. Our work proposes an archaeology of sensibility.
Creation is articulated through a collage of references, temporalities, and conceptual drift. We work with the residual, the anachronistic, the hybrid, the marginal—where the sacred and the profane coexist—as ways of poetically inhabiting the present. Each piece is a visual hypothesis, a plastic essay, a threshold between art and enchantment.
