The urban intervention in Jardim Panorama is an urban-architectural-social project proposed by the Panorama LAB collective. It's a scaled-down projection using the language of video mapping, created on the blind gables resulting from the removal of precarious buildings. It illuminates the exposed brick and plaster wall that extends at the foot of the community, a tear in the dense fabric of the favela, right in front of the Pinheiros River.
The idea came about at the invitation of curator Nelson Brissac, so that we could develop a work that would give a voice to the community in interaction with the architectural dimensions of the space.
Jardim Panorama sits in the eye of the storm of the intense process of urban redevelopment and real estate speculation transforming the region. The intervention projects the words and drawings of a population threatened with displacement throughout the metropolis.
The urban-scale audiovisual intervention allows us to appreciate Jardim Panorama in its connection with its surroundings: the adjacent Shopping Cidade Jardim, the Marginal Pinheiros highway in front, and, on the other side, Berrini Avenue. All connected by a walkway whose access ramp will be anchored to the seawall.
In the mapping developed throughout the work process, the residents' desire to remain in the same territory, in the same place, is unanimous. It is in this sense that the proposal to create an urban intervention work, in the format of video mapping/expanded cinema, is necessary and urgent. A machine for the reproducibility of unconsciousness, tearing through urban textures in an experimental, narrative, and playful pictorial composition, generating a graphic mobility in perspective with the urban landscape. As if the favela walls screamed, as if the walls evoked protest dances, windows transformed into eyes in a permanent state of vigilance over the space and the audience that appreciates and contemplates them.
At this threshold of extremes, in an exercise of artistic listening, broad signals are sent out so that the city can stop and listen. This intervention marks a visual action of extreme scope, operated through artistic activation within the territory itself. The poetic impression on the gables can echo new words, new gestures, shaping the space's social contradictions.
