Two installations composed of aerial images of the city of São Paulo divided in vertical straps of 3 meters of height each, compose the second individual exhibition of the artist Cássio Vasconcellos presents at Galeria Vermelho.
“São Paulo” and “Ponte” (bridge), questions the complexity of living in great urban centers. The installations also points to the distance between the origin of the term city, in Greece, and the mega postindustrial metropolis where we currently live. In terms of experience, the city can only be understood in segments and sectors, São Paulo, for example, occupies a surface of 1.500 km², any attempt to understand it as a totality would be a mistake. Heterogeneous and broken up spaces, cities lead individuals to live in a universe of technical images where the social structures function as gears in the production and the distribution of information through the net.
