Bruno.

Unisex sweatshirt

Bundle up and take Bruno out into the street: this praying mantis hoodie carries a mantis in a lime-green jacket and silver chain, sound engineer in Marseille. From my Animal Kinhood series, one of those who record the city at night and never show anyone a thing.

The real species

Praying mantis.

Mantis religiosa

Good sound is invisible. If the audience notices me, something's gone wrong.

Meadows, Mediterranean scrubland, field edges and sunny peri-urban zones from southern Europe to northern Africa and western Asia; successfully introduced to North America since 1899.

CAP · 01 / 02

Three Years on a Hard Drive

In the small hours, Bruno goes out alone with a recorder and captures whatever he finds: a container slamming shut by the Old Port, the seagulls at three, the mistral battering the antennas along the harbor. He publishes none of it. On his bathroom wall there's a map of Marseille with red dots: each dot, a place where he recorded something. He's been doing this for three years and hasn't shared a single file. He says they're not ready; they've been not ready for three years. The most intimate work he has, he keeps where nobody else hears it.

A Mantis of the Last Hours

On the chest you're wearing his portrait: a mantis facing forward, the lime jacket, the silver chain. And a fact about the species, outside the image: the mantis becomes active at dusk and in the early hours of the night, exactly when Bruno performs best. That's why a hoodie suits him so well: it's the garment for going out when the city turns its volume down. On the chest, his calm face; everything else, in his biography. Signed by me, Yago Partal.

§ 07What people ask.08 · about POD
  • Each product is made to order when you place your purchase. There is no pre-made stock or overproduction. A specialised production partner prints, cuts, and prepares it specifically for you.
  • It depends on two things: which piece it is and where it goes. Posters, the mug, the tote and the backpack ship from Europe: 4-7 business days to Europe, 2-4 to the UK, 2-6 to the USA and Canada, 6-22 to the rest of the world. T-shirts and the sweatshirt are made in the United States, so they take considerably longer to reach Europe: 9-25 business days, 7-10 to the UK, 4-10 to the USA and Canada, 5-17 to the rest of the world. Every figure already includes making the piece, since each one is produced when you order it. You will see the exact date for your shipment at checkout.
  • Contact us at mail@yagopartal.com with your order number and clear photos of the damage (include packaging). We will review your case and offer a solution as soon as possible, either replacement or refund.
  • The t-shirts are 96% cotton and 4% elastane, weighing 189 g/m2. The fabric is soft with a smooth surface, ideal for all-over printing. They are pilling-resistant and colourfast after washing.
  • Men's t-shirts range from XS to 5XL. Women's, kids', and youth sizes have specific ranges. Check the size guide on each product page for exact measurements in cm and inches.
  • Yes. You have 14 calendar days to withdraw, with no need to give a reason (TRLGDCU arts. 102-108). Return the product unused and in its original condition; return shipping is at your expense and any loss of value from handling beyond inspection is deducted (art. 108.2). Your statutory guarantee of conformity also remains fully in force: any product arriving damaged or with a defect is replaced or refunded at no cost. Contact us at mail@yagopartal.com.
  • Since products are made on demand, different items may be manufactured at different facilities. Posters, mugs, and backpacks are often shipped separately. Each package has its own tracking number.
  • The hoodie has dropped shoulders that give it a relaxed, modern look, but it is not extremely oversized. If you prefer a looser fit, size up one from your usual size.
