Gabriel & Tiago Primo are best known for the project they developed for the exterior wall of A Gentil Carioca in downtown Rio, titled À Parede (“to the wall”). The video documentation of the work shows both brothers scaling this wall, where, for a couple of weeks in 2009, they actually lived (ate, slept) and worked.
Having been asked what had bothered them most in this experimental take on street living, the brothers are said to have answered: “drunks keeping us awake at night trying to tell us the stories of their lives – and the rain"
