Dancing City

Dancing City is a series of gifs created by Brüno Melo, which aim to deconstruct the buildings that constantly crop up in the cityscape of modern day São Paulo with their flashing washed-out colors and broken lines. “Every day a new building springs from the floor of the state capital. Expensive, inexpensive, large or small, every day I see new cement pieces trying to reach our polluted sky. The Dancing City is a project that wishes to deconstruct these constructions. After all, if the large contractors can build in the capital, I can deconstruct.” It’s a way to claim back the city and create something pleasing to the eye, contrasting the concrete structures and their ceaseless advancement.
