This installation features three large-scale paintings from the series Escalpo Carioca, all created in the years 2005 and 2006 for the solo show Escalpo carioca e outras canções that Longo Bahia presented in 2006 at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, in Rio de Janeiro. In Escalpo Carioca, Longo Bahia re-creates idyllic Rio de Janeiro scenic views such as that of Sugarloaf Mountain and Two Brothers Mountain, and applies them on scraps of wood and discarded plywood.
