Waterfall consists of a set of projections in the A Noite building, the largest skyscraper in Latin America until the 1970s, and in an area that covers half a dozen facades on Sacadura Cabral street, close to the Rio de Janeiro Art Museum. We intend to create a poetic impact capable of raising questions, often antagonistic, that involve the history and culture of Rio de Janeiro, and in particular the opposition between nature and architecture, between illusion and reality, between the new and the tradition, between popular thought (for which cascade is a metaphor for lies) and erudite thought (in particular the utopias of modernist urbanism). We cannot fail to remember the phrase of Humberto Mauro, father of modern Brazilian cinema: “cinema is a waterfall”.
