The Museu da Cidade will open the installations "Chacina da Luz" and "Monumento Nenhum" by artist Giselle Beiguelman on Saturday, May 4, at 11:00 AM, at the Solar da Marquesa de Santos and Beco do Pinto, respectively. The works explore the loss of memory in public space and the city's relationship with its historical and cultural heritage. Composed of monument fragments, the installations replicate the state in which the pieces were found by the artist in public storage facilities, acting as a sort of "readymade" of oblivion.
