Do Sofá da sua casa
From the sofa of your home

Lucas Bambozzi and Paloma de Oliveira - Brasil

2010
Video installation mapped into a domestic scenario

Co-authored by Lucas Bambozzi and Paloma Oliviera, Do sofá da sua casa (From the sofa of your home) is a video installation that highlights the collective panic caused by Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC).
Founded in 1993 by inmates of the Taubaté prison in São Paulo, PCC is a criminal organization that has been responsible for several criminal activities such as prison breaks, prison riots, drug trafficking, highway robbery and terrorist activities.

Through the use of cellphones, media and internet from inside prison, PCC brought the city of São Paulo to a halt.

Do sofá da sua casa places the spectator inside the living room to make him/ her think about their social/ political position about this and other media facts.

Installation: 2 walls, a Tv and a face plaster mask were used to videomap the scenarium and narrative.
