Invited by Pivô, an independent art space located in the Copan building in São Paulo, I rented a studio during the month of July in the same building to develop a residence/exhibition project. By living and working in the same place, the project was developed from the relationship between the house, the studio/gallery at Pivô, and the 2013 demonstrations.

Focused on the transformations of the new center of the São Paulo capital, partly resulting from gentrification processes and real estate speculation, I focused both on the events of the vertical scenario of the metropolis and on details of the building's interior and the renovations that both Copan and Pivô were going through at the time.
I looked for the details of the local daily life and the collateral details of the housing proposed by the modernist architecture. In the prolonged living with that space and the routine of progressive insertion in the city, walking and recording my routes daily, I incorporated the history, architecture, and context of the place into my research.

Upon returning to São Paulo in 2018, this time to develop a project with MASP, I revisited Copan at the height of the political turmoil that began precisely during the 2013 demonstrations. Part of these observations was added to the text "Corta Luz", which started in 2013.

It was through the residency at Copan that I was invited by the curator Albertine de Gaulbert and the gallery MdM for the residency project in Paris in 2014, and also when the first considerations for the Perabé project emerged, formally starting in December 2014.
