Description
Summary:In the ‘50s, architect and artist, a kind of visionary, Flavio de Carvalho, go around the streets of downtown São Paulo using his Summer Costume. No doubt his poetic action questioned ways of dressing and living in the Tropics. Since the late 1990, the artist-wanderer Jayme Fygura roams the streets of Pelourinho, in Salvador, Bahia, wearing some kind of ritual clothing made from waste stuffs picked on the streets, provoking great amazement and even fear. In this communication, taking Flavio and Jayme as conceptual characters, will seek to investigate schizo’s flows, whose power of invention contaminates the streets with their experimental temperature, spreading lives in variation.
