Eduardo Srur has a new artistic intervention in São Paulo: there will be 15 sculptures in the shape of a dumpster, a common element in urban landscapes. Called
Caçambas , the intervention provokes reflection on the excess waste produced in the city, a result of the irresponsible model of food production and consumption. In Brazil, 60% of food is lost from its origin to the consumer's table.
The sculptures themselves will also be moved to other parts of the city, a symbol that this “perverse disappearance of waste” only hides its transportation to “distant and less-assisted places in society,” comments Srur. During the exhibition, the artist will conduct a photo shoot at the sites of the works, in order to highlight that rubble and irregular disposal dominate the urban landscape. Srur is also participating in the exhibition Ambiental: arte e movimento [Environmental: art and movements] at MuBE. During the event, a video produced inside CEAGESP – the largest food distribution center in Latin America, where tons of food are wasted every day – will be presented.
