Abstract

Brasilia can be questioned from its modernist concep­tion to the dilated void as a landscape and place of events. The interstitial negative of its monuments and buildings suggests that liquid city of the Situationists, a place where the drift allows the re-construction of situations: a city-collage. Moved by fleetingness and impermanence, events take place in forgotten places in cities, in spaces abandoned by the growth of me­tropolises. The sensitive body is an integral part of the set. Drift subverts the linear narrative of the pro­grammatic and spectacularized space, towards the surviving, erased or silenced heterogeneous times. Brasília adrift shows the urban space subject to aes­thetic practices, whose power is to dilute the bounda­ries between architecture and landscape – between art and life – in the liquid space of infinite cartogra­phy and erratic.
