Video showing the painting with lime on Portuguese stone and asphalt and the appropriation of the pedestrian crossing.
25m long

Installation in public space writing the word "life" on the ground. Appropriating the pedestrian crossings in front of Caixa Cultural as the "I"s, the artist creates the rest of the letters with lime and fixative, starting at the corner of Avenida Almirante Barroso and Avenida Treze de Maio and ending at Largo da Carioca.
