The site specific Emboaçava is the only work commissioned for the exhibition. It places a piece of the Mata Adentro studio inside Galpão VB. Using various elements from his artistic repertoire, such as iron bars from demolished houses and di erent elements of São Paulo’s flora, Bueno explores the past of Vila Leopoldina, district where Galpão VB is located, and its original role of protecting the then emerging city of São Paulo against invaders. The title of the work is a reference to the place near the current Ponte dos Remédios bridge, where it was possible to cross the Tietê River on foot.
