morelia open. an atp 125 challenger tournament bringing professional tennis to morelia, featuring emerging and top-ranked players competing on the international circuit. photographic and video coverage capturing the rhythm of the game — from match intensity to the atmosphere surrounding the tournament. a visual record of movement, focus and competition. morelia, 2026.

selectors* an underground electronic music session blending digital and vinyl dj sets in the basement of teatro matamoros, morelia. rastro developed a spatial-light system centered around a custom-built metallic monolith designed to anchor a laser source. the structure functioned both as a sculptural object and a precision mount, enabling a vertical beam projection onto a ground-level mirror. this reflection redirected the laser into a volumetric field, enhanced with controlled haze to materialize the beam, resulting in a dynamic light curtain behind the dj booth. the system was further expanded through laser mapping workflows using madmapper, allowing modulation of the beam behavior in sync with the environment. the dj booth was designed and fabricated as an extension of the installation’s visual language. surrounding the space, 7 nautical fixtures were deployed and programmed via dmx using touchdesigner, generating a reactive, immersive lighting atmosphere across the venue. a study in reflection, density, and controlled light behavior within a confined underground architecture. production, lighting system, and spatial design by rastro. morelia, 2026.

a gesture / un geste / un gesto. rebecca brodskis at centro de las artes de san luis potosí. over the course of 10 days we documented the process behind rebecca brodskis’s exhibition — accompanying the artist through the installation of the show and the creation of a large-scale mural developed on site in the days leading up to the opening. a gesture marked a special moment in her practice: the first time many of her works were brought together and presented in a single space. the exhibition reflects on the idea of the gesture itself — a simple human action capable of crossing language, culture and identity. in brodskis’s paintings, gestures become a way of reconnecting with others beyond individuality, through presence, touch and shared humanity. full video in youtube. direction: @cvargasbernal production: @rastro____ videography and editing: @alejandroneira.dp , @emilio.zic , @cvargasbernal photography: @cvargasbernal color correction: @alejandroneira.dp for: fundación amparo y manuel. @famparoymanuel artist: rebecca brodskis. @rebecca_brodskis_painter location: @ceart_sanluis san luis potosí, 2025.

solareon. @solareonmx is a non-profit art car built by @zingulart : a nomadic cultural platform created for everyone, regardless of age, background or prior connection to art. a space of open access that turns any location into a place for meeting, play, learning and shared celebration. not a vehicle for bodies, but for stories, voices, memory and possibility. built as a living organism, solareon is activated by the energy of its audience — a bridge between art, technology and community. its monumental form evokes a luminous guardian that unfolds at every destination: by day, hosting workshops, performances and sensory experiences; by night, transforming into a creature of light offering immersive shows, live music and collective moments of wonder. art car produced, designed and built by zingulart. photography, video and editing by rastro. shot and edited: @cvargasbernal photography: @arturohdzp , @enriqueramirez5 music: @maximedb___ , @enriqueramirez5 , @milow._._ , @nicolas_nocetti_ , @adrimsaga , @oscar.hgl location: @feriadeleon @solareonmx león, 2026.

losdosuno at laguna sipalitos, tulum. a gathering shaped by water, nature and human connection. music as a shared language, the space as a meeting point. over 100m of natural unbleached canvas, cut into 4m drops in two widths (1.20m and 1.40m). patterns were drawn manually, rebuilt as vectors, and laser-cut into the fabric for clean negative space. the panels were rigged across the site—hung on palm trees and along the palapa perimeter—to shape light, shadow, and airflow. the dock came alive under laser mapping—its structure was re-drawn in motion with laser linework (edges, planks, rails, and contours), layered in passes that traveled along the pier and out toward the water, then synced to the music for controlled timing and rhythm. tulum, 2026.

collected works from a year in motion. images, sound, design, and traces that remain. thanks, rastro. see you in 2026.

yoyaku. a paris-based collective and record label known for its minimal, deep and experimental approach to electronic music. a global reference in the underground scene, bringing artists whose sound is precise, immersive and meticulously curated. for the lighting and stage setup the design and build was a 3.5 × 3.5 m dj booth out of 1/2” steel tube, with a custom top for mixer, cdjs, turntable and live set. the whole structure was wrapped in natural cotton and a second white layer, turning the inside lighting into a soft, indirect glow. placed right in the middle of the venue, the booth created a full 360° experience with the crowd surrounding the dj. above it, floated a 3 × 3 m lighting structure, also in 1/2” steel tube, with laser-cut steel panels inspired by one of yoyaku’s records, wrapped in white fabric to diffuse the light. around the space we added 6 screen totems with experimental black & white visuals, moving heads, lasers and spots to build a true audiovisual environment. in collaboration with @zingulart — none of this would have been possible without their team. creative direction: @arturohdzp production: @rastro____ × @zingulart head of production: @lostrythms , @alfieknowsbest , @milow._._ video direction and editing: @cvargasbernal video coverage: @cvargasbernal , @alejandroneira.dp photography: @arturo.gmz visuals and lasers: @anticorp_visual_artist venue: @salaroxy partnership: @loshmx music by: @maximedb___ , @hostom.wav , @enriqueramirez5 & @milow._._ , @santiagorubin_ , @ruge.msc @yoyaku.fr @yoyakurecordstore guadalajara, 2025. the dj sets are available now on our youtube.

kurhikuaeri, un encuentro creado para honrar el día de muertos a través del ritual, la memoria, la música y la luz. una experiencia íntima en la que el espacio, el entorno y la energía colectiva se entrelazaron para abrir un tiempo distinto: un tiempo de recuerdo. su nombre evoca al dios purépecha del sol, el fuego y la guerra — una presencia guardiana que sostiene la celebración y acompaña el regreso de quienes ya no están. portador del fuego sagrado, señor del sol, ascendió desde el vientre oscuro de la noche purépecha para iluminar los caminos de los hombres. él es el guerrero celeste, el primer danzante del cosmos, y su tambor retumba en el corazón de quienes recuerdan. no en el olvido está la muerte, sino en la desconexión de nuestras raíces. en la oración y meditación, el ritmo es armonía y medicina. en esta tierra sagrada, el lago refleja el cielo y el alma retorna para celebrar su linaje. al danzar con los pies descalzos, el espíritu se renueva. es tiempo de conectar el alma con nuestros ancestros y reconocernos como portadores del fuego sagrado. producción: @arturohdzp , @alfieknowsbest , @ag_alcazar , jacob diseño y construcción: @arturohdzp , jacob dirección y edición : @cvargasbernal fotografía y video: @cvargasbernal , @emilio.zic fundadores: @oscar.hgl , @enriqueramirez5 voz y texto: @oscar.hgl tzintzuntzan, 2025.
