BAMBOO DECORATIVE WINDOW FILM

visiting Berbela's home. Berbela has been making objects out of items he finds in the trash and his home is entirely decorated with his creations. He doesnt want to sell anything- he just keeps making things and displaying them!
Favelas are notoriously known for their reputation of crime, drug dealing, etc... but I've always really wanted to visit one (and not just bc of some perversion but bc Im genuinely interested in these communities).
Paraisopolis means ‘Paradise City’ and is located in the middle of the upscale neighbourhood of Morumbi (not a surprise to see this contrast of rich & poor side by side). About 100 000 people live in Paraisopolis. There is a very particular joyous & vibrant energy in the streets- despite the miserable reputation of favelas.
I had the chance to walk around for about 2 hours and visiting some homes. Obviously I had to be extremely careful with my camera as I couldnt just point & shoot on anyone (actually came across some people with guns there). These are the photos I managed to capture however!

This 1908 rubblestone building was a horse-drawn delivery service before becoming the "Up-To-Date Garage" and then a Chrysler dealership. The building is now home to an upscale home decorating store and a newly painted sign on the south side proclaims this as the "Fernie Livery & Transfer Company."
