Installation with 50 objects suspended by steel cables and nylon wires in the internal airspace of the Júlio Prestes train station. The bicycles used in the exhibition, in its majority, were historical, since they belonged to the collection of the museum Museu Caloi, the first bicycle manufacturer in the country.
Júlio Prestes Station, together with Luz Station, inaugurated the railway transportation and the urban development of the city. Currently, the station is listed by the historical heritage, but needs urgent restoration.
The mounting close to the large stained glass window allowed the incidence of natural light on the bicycles, transforming the look of the work during the day.
The flying bicycles are part of the popular imagination, and this work aimed to reactivate the public eye for the local architecture.
