Catalogue Note
C’est un projet fait de bric et de broc, comme la favela elle-même. On s’est adapté à l’environnement dans cet univers où les toits des maisons sont en plastique et les revolvers des enfants en acier. It’s a project made of bits and pieces, like the favela itself. We had to adapt to this world where the roofs of houses are made of plastic and children’s revolvers are made of steel.
