Parallel Connection - Os gemeos

os gemeos animate times square at midnight with quirky figures + faces

Brazilian artists and brothers Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, aka Os Gemeos, and their iconic characters are taking over Times Square this month. Every night, from 11:57 p.m. until midnight, a short animation of their characters will be showcased on billboards throughout Times Square.

The project, called Parallel Connection, is part of Midnight Moment, presented by the Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC) and Times Square Arts. According to a press release, the animated short “breaks the barriers between imagination and reality. The brothers, Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo, want to connect with the joyful and creative aspects that they feel every individual has inside of themselves and can visualize through dreams.

The dream world is the one place where every person in the universe can be connected if they can just break the barriers between imagination and the physical world.”
