Wacky Art Exhibit in Rio de Janeiro Posted by on Jul 14, 2009 in Brazilian News, Culture

Two Carioca brothers, Tiago and Gabriel Primo, designed an interactive installation exhibit in Rio de Janeiro’s historic downtown. They built a small room on the side of a painted wall 33 feet above the ground, including a bed, table, chair, and hammock.

The artists spend twelve hours a day in the room, eating, reading and sleeping, as well as chatting with and entertaining passersby. The wall also doubles as a climbing wall, and the two artists use climbing equipment when they are on the wall.

The exhibit is adjacent to an art gallery that features outdoor exhibits four times a year.
