The project is the result of a photographic immersion inside one of the largest and best known illegal occupations in São Paulo. It is a visual diary of an experience in which the collective recorded the reflections of the social, urban and migratory crises affecting the biggest metropolis in Latin America. For almost a year they followed daily life inside this twelve-storey giant, a place that had become a modern tower of Babel where some three thousand people lived, most of them immigrants and Brazilians from every region looking for better opportunities in one of the richest and most expensive cities in the world. These are the last records of a place discarded by society and taken over by people neglected by the authorities, for whom occupying it illegally was the only chance of a roof.
