Vouge Ewigeliebe
Biography
Vouge Ewigeliebe (Nahuel Rodríguez) is an Argentine animator and director who works on the border between illustration, animation, and 3D. His work focuses on the construction of atmospheres and symbolism: detailed environments and expressive, human characters where careful composition tells stories that are felt rather than explained.
He founded ChocoAlien Studio, where he develops short films and series for young adults — a narrative universe where aliens and sci-fi humor intertwine with deep dives into the characters’ psyches. In parallel, his personal projects explore more intimate and existential themes, delving into life, death, and limbo from a poetic sensibility.
At the core of his artistic approach lies a pursuit of truth and honesty, both artistic and philosophical. He seeks to tell stories to which he is emotionally bound — starting from a central idea and building everything around it — as a way to approach authenticity through creation.
His work aims to provoke emotions and questions rather than provide answers. Moving between the playful and the dark, he constructs worlds where the symbolic weighs as much as the narrative. At this intersection, his work resonates with the traditions of authors who blend the everyday with the strange, such as Kafka, Moebius, Tsukumizu, and Tatsuki Fujimoto.

But the storm rises on K2 and the Barrards do not arrive. At the first light of day, Parmentier, worried, resumed the ascent, braved hell to meet his friends who had probably been forced to bivouac. The snow has covered all human traces.

On July 30, an expedition finds the body of Liliane Barrard, she was 38 years old. Maurice Barrard's body was not found until July 1998, at the foot of K2, in a crevasse, he was 45 years old.
