Te MATA
Exploring Identity and Design [Trailer]
Working together since 2016, Destilería Andina and Te MATA have been exploring Peruvian identity. It took a first visit to the distillery in December 2020 to presence the aesthetic language of the Andes. Identity is a simultaneous reflection and a reflector of the subject’s visual DNA. And so with the intention to simplify this concept, a series of clips were brought to life to explore 3 main pillars forming the identity of Destileria Andina; (i) Home, (ii) Family, (iii) Harvest.
