Palimpsest no. 2 - Announcements
This work references elements of the physical landscape that no longer exist. Street names that have been silenced and overshadowed by other, meaningless names. Three streets are mentioned: Rua dos Lordes, Rua do Bloco Médico, and Rua da Creche. The trio points to three places of former social significance in the neighborhood: government offices, a hospital, and a daycare center. All are associated in some way with a dense and complex structure responsible for admitting patients with alleged psychiatric disorders. This work pays tribute to all the victims who passed through the Colônia Juliano Moreira hospital and did not find their way to freedom in life.
Material salvaged from scrap yards: 5/16" Screws and Nuts _ 15 and 30 + Wood Slats 2,6m + Pine Board _ 60x20x2cm (3x) + Metalon C-Profile (80x40mm) _ 1m - Total size _ 0.6 x 0.6 x 2.6m
approximately 1.8 kg of CO₂ emissions were avoided iron ore mining and tree cutting were avoided the cost of waste collection, transportation, and landfilling was avoided low-impact technique
