Public Place
Audio guided walk, 24 min. Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. November 2013.
Can memories have a home? Often memories have a smell, sometimes a taste, or an image. But they may also have a home. In 2013, I visited the park I used to play in when I was a child and suddenly I was that 6 year old girl again. On that sunny August day, that street was a doorway into my past.
Participants follow my same route, listening to the audio through headphones: stories, past and recent, like the case of the missing love birds, the haunted house, toys lost and abandoned, ruins, and passing rites. Created for a place in Brazil, the original audio track is in Portuguese.
Escute o arquivo de áudio abaixo utilizando fones de ouvido e faça o trajeto no bairro de Copacabana, começando na estação de metrô Cardeal Arcoverde. Antes de sair de casa, por favor confira os horários de funcionamento do Parque da Chacrinha que faz parte do trajeto (aberto de terça a domingo, de 8h às 17h).
Sem a ajuda de mapas, a narração os guiará, além de dar indicações para procurar certos marcos na paisagem, ouvir e experimentar o ambiente e modificar a velocidade do andar para absorver as informações dadas pelo percurso.
