Today, those who pass the old Estrada do Corredor (Corridor Road), on the way to the station or coming back from work, see bars, automobile repair shops and commercial shops. On the sidewalk there are people working, waiting for the bus, looking at the street or the screen of the smartphone. To see everyday life, that one full of gestures, we should suspend time, almost to stillness. This is how the minimal expressiveness is revealed and the street is no longer a place of passage and becomes something similar to a tissue, which incorporates everything and everyone, day and night.

Diego Ramos is a historian (Unifesp-2018) and a visual artist. His research on the audiovisual area focuses on experimental cinema and video art.
