A Maravilha do Rio de Janeiro Based on the TV Globo (Brazilian TV network) television survey 'A Maravilha do Rio' (2002) asking the people of Rio to vote for one of six iconic locations: The Lake, Guanabara Bay, Maracana football stadium, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, or the Christ the Redeemer statue. This landscape moving image work can be understood as a continuation of the original television survey, engaging with locational identity and social connectivity.
