Copacabana

Copacabana, a place well known for everyone. The proximity between the ocean and the city turns it very peculiar. The relation between people and their own bodies, shown public, whithout any ashaiming, beautiful or ugly, firm or flat, I`m looking for to register the interation of these bodies with the urban space, on a hybrid componing living and hot bodies, that mixes with the solid and cold of construtions.

Bodies that estabilish becoming almost a landscape.
