Item: Cidade Dormitório
2007
Installation
Materials:
The work with which Ferraz is most strongly associated was conceived specifically for the blind wall of the A Gentil Carioca art space in downtown Rio: the Cidade Dormitório or “dormitory city,” a huge, eight-tiered bunk bed that was actually used for sleeping by some of the neighborhood’s homeless people when it was installed there in 2007.
This “sculpture” was brought to Antwerp and is installed outside the museum (see groundplan), inevitably rendered dysfunctional by Belgium’s decidedly untropical climate.
