- [exhales heavily]

6
00:00:58,433 --> 00:01:00,642
I love when I start a day

7
00:01:00,685 --> 00:01:03,562
and I really don't know
where it's gonna take me.

00:01:03,605 --> 00:01:06,732
[soft vocal music]

9
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:13,280
Waking up every day
in a different country,

10
00:01:13,323 --> 00:01:15,199
creating projects...

11
00:01:20,372 --> 00:01:24,291
Never really looking back,
just being in the action.

12
00:01:24,334 --> 00:01:26,335
Action, action, action.

13
00:01:29,714 --> 00:01:32,424
Maybe that's why I've always
been documenting it...

14
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,178
To keep a trace of it.

15
00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:56,907
The excuse of the art
is the greatest path ever.

16
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,742
[bricks crashing]

17
00:02:02,622 --> 00:02:03,914
I'm actually kind of shy

18
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:06,625
and can be afraid
to talk to people.

19
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:10,587
But when I do a project,
I have to explain,

20
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:14,633
"I come here by myself,
with my own money,

21
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:17,386
"to try to do this project
here with you,

22
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:21,223
in your community,
if it makes sense to you."

23
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:26,478
And then, of course,
some people ask,

24
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:28,814
"Yeah, but what is this
going to achieve?"

25
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:35,320
I always say,
"I don't know. Let's see."

26
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:41,660
It's almost like if we do
a pact of the unknown:

27
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:43,871
"Okay, we're gonna do this,

28
00:02:43,913 --> 00:02:46,498
but I have no idea
where it's gonna take us."

29
00:03:25,747 --> 00:03:29,875
- And your ID right here
one more time.

30
00:03:29,918 --> 00:03:33,253
- Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

36
00:04:01,616 --> 00:04:04,284
So here I am, supermax prison,

37
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:06,745
to meet some inmates
that have been incarcerated

38
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:08,580
when they were teenagers,

39
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:12,751
mainly because
of the three-strike law.

40
00:04:12,794 --> 00:04:16,463
This is level four,
maximum security level four,

41
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:23,012
and so a lot
of the most violent.

42
00:04:23,054 --> 00:04:25,305
Damn.
What, someone got stabbed?

43
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:26,849
- Yeah, they wanted to try
to clean it up

44
00:04:26,891 --> 00:04:28,308
before you guys got here,
but they didn't do it.

45
00:04:28,351 --> 00:04:29,476
- That was when?

46
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:30,936
- That was two days ago,
apparently.

47
00:04:30,979 --> 00:04:36,859
- Wow.

48
00:04:36,901 --> 00:04:39,903
- Hey.
- Hello, hello.

49
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:41,363
Hey. How are you?
- Welcome.

50
00:04:41,406 --> 00:04:42,656
I'm JR.

51
00:04:42,699 --> 00:04:44,533
Hey, how are you?
- Hey, what's up?

52
00:04:44,576 --> 00:04:45,951
I come from France.

53
00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:47,327
I'll try to remember
every name, guys,

54
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,038
but, like,
you gotta give me a minute.

55
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,624
How are you?
JR.

56
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:54,376
[clears throat]

57
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:57,046
Well, thank you for having me.

58
00:04:57,088 --> 00:05:01,008
What we're about to do here is,
I take photos of you guys

59
00:05:01,051 --> 00:05:05,346
and also photos of people
who made it out

60
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:08,640
and also families of people
who have forgiven,

61
00:05:08,683 --> 00:05:11,810
people who have connected
with some people in here,

62
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:14,688
and so--to try to connect
all the dots

63
00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:18,025
to show how everyone
is interlinked together.

64
00:05:18,068 --> 00:05:19,693
We're not here
to judge anything.

65
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:22,029
We're here to listen
to the story

66
00:05:22,072 --> 00:05:25,491
and to portray you the way
you want to be portrayed.

67
00:05:25,533 --> 00:05:29,787
But my feeling, just from being
from the outside--

68
00:05:29,829 --> 00:05:32,122
that's why I really need
to hear it from you--

69
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,708
is that this is kind of
how it feel here.

70
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:36,710
Like, being between walls,

71
00:05:36,753 --> 00:05:38,504
it feels like almost everyone

72
00:05:38,546 --> 00:05:39,838
is, like, dropped
in the same hole.

73
00:05:39,881 --> 00:05:42,091
And I want to make that
as a visual

74
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:47,054
so that when people see,
they understand it.

75
00:05:47,097 --> 00:05:49,682
Well, I'd love to hear from you
what you think,

76
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:51,600
if you have
any questions for me.

77
00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:54,687
What--you know, how can I,

78
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:57,981
you know, help make things
clearer?

79
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:09,868
What--you know, any questions,
basically, I'm open.

80
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:11,829
- What it is that you're trying
to--like,

81
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:14,456
what is it that you're trying
to accomplish with this?

82
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:15,624
That's my question.

83
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:17,710
- The thing is,
I didn't even know

84
00:06:17,752 --> 00:06:21,547
that someone can be locked up
when he was a kid for life.

85
00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:23,549
In my country,
I never heard that.

86
00:06:23,591 --> 00:06:25,175
Maybe in the U.S., people know.

87
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,052
But people tend to forget.

88
00:06:27,095 --> 00:06:29,096
By not seeing each other,
by not--

89
00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:30,180
then you tend to forget.

90
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:31,598
Everybody goes
into their own thing,

91
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:33,142
and then you get forgotten.

92
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:36,103
But when you see and you put
a face and a story to someone,

93
00:06:36,146 --> 00:06:38,564
then you're like--well,
you can't forget it anymore.

94
00:06:38,606 --> 00:06:41,567
Look, I don't make
fake promises.

95
00:06:41,609 --> 00:06:42,860
I'm not a politician, you know.

96
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:44,737
I'm always very careful
with my words.

97
00:06:44,779 --> 00:06:47,114
But I'll give you an example.

98
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:49,033
It's interesting
when you work on walls,

99
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:51,910
people are always coming to me,
"Oh, you should do this wall."

100
00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:54,204
Well, there's a wall
that I keep hearing.

101
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:55,873
So one day, I say, "All right,
let's take the car."

102
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:58,000
I went with my friends.
We just drove there.

103
00:06:58,043 --> 00:07:02,796
[demon's "riddim in the park"]

104
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:13,140
- How you guys doing?
- Good. How are you?

105
00:07:13,183 --> 00:07:14,224
- Good. And you?

106
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:15,476
Yeah, we're just
checking out the wall.

107
00:07:15,518 --> 00:07:16,894
- Yeah.
- Oh, checking out the wall?

108
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:17,895
- They just wanted to see it.

109
00:07:17,937 --> 00:07:19,646
- Yeah.
- What wall?

110
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:20,898
- Oh.
[laughter]

111
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:22,608
- You guys see a wall anywhere?

112
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:24,193
- Fence.
- The fence, the fence. Sorry.

113
00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:25,944
- Yeah, that's been there
for a long time.

114
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:28,155
- Yeah.
- Where you guys live?

115
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:29,948
- Oh, no, we're French.
We just--

116
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,160
I mean, he's American,
we're French, so we just--

117
00:07:33,203 --> 00:07:34,578
- Step out.

118
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:35,829
- Yeah.
[speaking french]

119
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:36,789
- Oh, do you need me
to pull up?

120
00:07:36,831 --> 00:07:42,670
- Yeah.

121
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:43,796
- Hi.
- How's it going?

122
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:44,963
- Good. How are you?

123
00:07:45,006 --> 00:07:46,590
- Pretty good.
Where you guys heading?

124
00:07:46,633 --> 00:07:48,592
- Just gonna take some pictures
of the wall.

125
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:49,968
- Yeah.
- The wall?

126
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:51,970
- Or the fence. Whatever. Yeah.
- Fence.

127
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:53,681
Okay. Have a good time.
- Okay.

128
00:07:53,723 --> 00:07:55,140
- Thank you.
- Thanks.

129
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:58,560
[somber music]

130
00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:01,939
- I wanted to find a place

131
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:04,066
where I could do
an installation

132
00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:07,695
that would play with the wall
but not touch the wall.

133
00:08:13,702 --> 00:08:16,870
I found a place where we can
drive in front of the wall.

134
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:18,664
But on the U.S. side,

135
00:08:18,707 --> 00:08:20,874
Border Patrol is everywhere,
helicopters flying.

136
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:22,251
I'm like,
"Okay, this doesn't look

137
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:24,003
like an easy place
to do something."

138
00:08:24,045 --> 00:08:25,671
And then I look
on the other side,

139
00:08:25,714 --> 00:08:27,965
and I see some houses
close by the wall,

140
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:30,009
actually not that far.

141
00:08:30,051 --> 00:08:32,302
So we go past the border.

142
00:08:34,264 --> 00:08:37,850
And then I go to the closest
house from the wall,

143
00:08:37,892 --> 00:08:39,018
because I'm like,
"Oh, maybe I could

144
00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:40,561
paste something
on that house."

145
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:42,312
And I knock at that door.

146
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:45,983
Well, there was this woman
and two old people,

147
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:48,193
little baby
and two chickens and a dog.

148
00:08:48,236 --> 00:08:49,903
And she looked at me,
and she's like,

149
00:08:49,946 --> 00:08:52,239
"Oh, I follow you
on social media."

150
00:08:52,282 --> 00:08:54,867
That's insane--the first door
I bang, you know?

151
00:08:54,909 --> 00:08:56,869
That's really weird.

152
00:08:56,911 --> 00:08:57,870
So I'm like, "All right, look,
you know me.

153
00:08:57,912 --> 00:08:59,121
I do this kind of stuff."

154
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:00,247
So she takes me to that spot

155
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:02,666
that's the closest
from the fence.

156
00:09:02,709 --> 00:09:04,710
But it's trees and stuff,
so I'm like, "Ah, okay,

157
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:07,713
"I see it's a bit complicated
for me to do it there.

158
00:09:07,756 --> 00:09:09,006
"So look, thank you.

159
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:11,925
Let me continue
driving alongside the wall."

160
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:16,347
I kept on going
all the way to the ocean.

161
00:09:18,933 --> 00:09:20,351
I'm like, "Shit.

162
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,645
"That kid,
he don't know what a fence is.

163
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:24,938
"He don't know
that there is two countries,

164
00:09:24,981 --> 00:09:26,231
"that there is two sides.

165
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:28,067
He don't know
what that wall means."

166
00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:30,736
So I go back,
and all I did

167
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,905
is photograph him
standing in the crib,

168
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:34,907
looking around him like that.

169
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,078
And then I left.

170
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,913
And we look around,
down the little hill

171
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,289
that go up to the wall.

172
00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:43,707
There's nothing.

173
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,668
It's just grass and garbage
here and there.

174
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:48,295
So I'm like, "Okay,
whose land is this?

175
00:09:48,338 --> 00:09:50,756
So I ask every neighbor:
"Hey, excuse me, sir.

176
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,966
You know whose land is that?"
"You know, I don't know.

177
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:54,093
I don't want to have
anything to do with it."

178
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:55,177
"All right, that's all
I need to hear."

179
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:56,679
I go to the next neighbor:

180
00:09:56,721 --> 00:09:58,305
"Hey, man, do you know
whose land is this?"

181
00:09:58,348 --> 00:09:59,723
Some people wouldn't even
open the door.

182
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:00,974
Like, "What do you want? No."

183
00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:02,309
So what do you do?

184
00:10:02,352 --> 00:10:04,853
My only option was,
let's rent a bulldozer.

185
00:10:04,896 --> 00:10:05,979
[laughter]

186
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:07,314
Anyone can rent a bulldozer.

187
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:09,316
They'll deliver it
to whatever address.

188
00:10:09,359 --> 00:10:12,277
So I started
digging the ground.

189
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,863
And I was like, "All right,
what are the risks for me,

190
00:10:14,906 --> 00:10:16,990
"as a French person in Mexico,

191
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:20,077
digging a ground next to--
next to the border?"

192
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,079
Well, I'm not digging
a hole under it.

193
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:23,330
I'm just, like, flattening it.

194
00:10:23,373 --> 00:10:25,207
So maybe the Mexicans
will come first and say,

195
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:26,333
"Hey, man, you can't
do that here.

196
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,376
Are you crazy?"

197
00:10:27,419 --> 00:10:30,254
And I would be,
"Oh, I'm so sorry."

198
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:33,132
And we start one day, two days,
three days--for, like, 15 days.

199
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:36,760
No one says anything,
and we level the ground.

200
00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:38,679
I couldn't believe it.
I was like, "What the fuck?

201
00:10:38,722 --> 00:10:40,431
Who is in charge here?"

202
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:43,434
So then I go to a place
to rent scaffolding.

203
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:45,978
[indistinct chatter]

204
00:10:46,021 --> 00:10:47,146
"All right, if you pay,
we'll build it.

205
00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:48,856
You know,
we don't ask questions."

206
00:10:48,898 --> 00:10:51,692
[tools banging]

207
00:10:51,735 --> 00:10:57,740
[all speaking spanish]

208
00:10:57,782 --> 00:11:01,243
[laughter]

209
00:11:01,286 --> 00:11:03,996
[laughter]

210
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,790
[dynamic music]

211
00:11:06,833 --> 00:11:08,042
- It's bigger than the wall.

212
00:11:08,084 --> 00:11:10,169
It's three times
the size of the wall.

213
00:11:10,211 --> 00:11:12,880
Let's see if the Border Patrol
stop us.

214
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:22,723
I come with my team,
and we paste that little kid.

215
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:25,809
There I was like, "Okay,

216
00:11:25,852 --> 00:11:27,811
"maybe that's where
I'm gonna lose everything,

217
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:30,397
"because Border Patrol
is gonna start saying,

218
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,192
"'There's something big
being built by the wall.

219
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:34,777
We should do something
about it.'"

220
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:57,883
- [speaking spanish]

221
00:11:57,926 --> 00:12:07,184
- [speaking spanish]

222
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:12,356
- In one day, we pasted
the entire structure.

223
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,525
And I was like, "Okay,
let's get out of here."

224
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,777
And I passed back
on the other side

225
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:18,779
and stumbled on those two
Border Patrol

226
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:20,906
that was just looking
at the kid.

227
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:22,491
And I just put on Internet.

228
00:12:22,534 --> 00:12:24,952
I say, "Hey, whoever wants
to go see that kid,

229
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:26,203
here is the location."

230
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:27,830
That's all I say.

231
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:32,501
One of the great things
that art do is,

232
00:12:32,544 --> 00:12:35,546
if you build a giant kid
somewhere, people will say,

233
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:37,339
"Ah, that's a fun thing.
I'll go see that.

234
00:12:37,382 --> 00:12:39,383
Let's go take a selfie
in front of it."

235
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:44,346
That's where my idea start.

236
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:45,806
I hope people go
and take photos

237
00:12:45,849 --> 00:12:47,266
so they'll see the wall.

238
00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:50,561
It's the same land,
but we're on each side.

239
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:55,357
And what happened is
something I haven't planned.

240
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,110
People exchanging their phones
through the wall

241
00:12:58,153 --> 00:13:00,237
to take photos of each other,
connecting, talking:

242
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,947
"Hey, how are you?"

243
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:03,240
The Border Patrol should be,
"Wait, wait, wait.

244
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:04,491
"They could be passing drugs,

245
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:05,868
"or they could be
passing weapons.

246
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:07,244
Let's go arrest those people."

247
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:13,459
After three weeks,
no one got arrested.

248
00:13:15,337 --> 00:13:17,921
How the fuck people
don't get arrested

249
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:21,467
for passing stuff
through the wall?

250
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:23,844
Because I know
there's guys on the hills

251
00:13:23,887 --> 00:13:28,015
overlooking every second.

252
00:13:28,058 --> 00:13:29,975
After one month
of seeing that,

253
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:32,478
I had to give back
the scaffolding.

254
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,982
We decided to go
and to organize a table

255
00:13:37,025 --> 00:13:38,942
that would go through the wall.

256
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:42,279
[dramatic music]

257
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:45,949
We built a table,
36 feet on each side.

258
00:13:45,992 --> 00:13:49,078
Yes, we would block the road
a little bit on the U.S. side,

259
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,955
'cause the table
will end up on the road.

260
00:13:54,209 --> 00:13:55,709
A few days later,
we got a letter

261
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:58,545
from the Border Patrol saying
that they strongly recommend

262
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:01,465
keeping the table
on the Mexican side only.

263
00:14:04,552 --> 00:14:06,428
We continued,
but we had to improvise

264
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:09,640
another way of building
the table from the U.S. side.

265
00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:14,353
And then we invited
people to come

266
00:14:14,396 --> 00:14:17,106
and see Kikito
for the last time.

267
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:22,361
[indistinct chatter]

268
00:14:22,404 --> 00:14:24,363
People on the Mexican side
all started sitting,

269
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:26,240
and we started making food,

270
00:14:26,282 --> 00:14:28,200
but there was nobody
on the other side,

271
00:14:28,243 --> 00:14:30,202
'cause we couldn't
build a table.

272
00:14:30,245 --> 00:14:32,246
Hello. How are you?

273
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:33,997
- We're from Germany.

274
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,083
- Ah, from Germany. Wow.
Amazing.

275
00:14:36,126 --> 00:14:37,334
You know we're doing
a lunch thing.

276
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:39,086
- Can't go to the other side.

277
00:14:39,129 --> 00:14:41,463
- As soon as people would come
to take photos, we told them,

278
00:14:41,506 --> 00:14:44,967
"Hey, if you can stay
a little bit longer."

279
00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:47,511
After, like, an hour
or an hour and a half,

280
00:14:47,554 --> 00:14:50,139
there was maybe 20, 30 people,

281
00:14:50,181 --> 00:14:52,141
and we passed them a tarp.

282
00:14:52,183 --> 00:14:53,517
And then we're like,
"Okay, maybe we only have

283
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,395
a couple minutes,
so we let's go fast."

284
00:14:56,438 --> 00:15:01,608
Table on the Mexican side
that continue on the U.S. side.

285
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:05,237
And one music band
plays in two sides.

286
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,240
[upbeat music playing]

287
00:15:16,332 --> 00:15:18,250
Half of the band
was in Mexico,

288
00:15:18,293 --> 00:15:19,418
the other half
was in the U.S.,

289
00:15:19,461 --> 00:15:20,627
but it was the same band.

290
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:22,588
They were playing
the same music.

291
00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:26,050
We would pass tacos
that we made in Mexico

292
00:15:26,092 --> 00:15:27,092
through the wall.

293
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:28,385
We passed them illegal tacos.

294
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,054
So now I'm thinking,

295
00:15:30,096 --> 00:15:31,722
"We're gonna get arrested
in five minutes.

296
00:15:31,765 --> 00:15:33,682
"Let's just pretend
we're eating

297
00:15:33,725 --> 00:15:35,517
so I can take a photo."

298
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,436
Everybody gather
around the table.

299
00:15:37,479 --> 00:15:39,646
We're gonna take
a photo from above.

300
00:15:39,689 --> 00:15:42,649
[speaking spanish]

301
00:15:42,692 --> 00:15:46,153
You ready?
Cinco. Quatro.

302
00:15:46,196 --> 00:15:50,199
all: Tres. Dos. Uno.

303
00:15:50,241 --> 00:15:53,285
all: Whoo!

304
00:15:53,328 --> 00:15:55,579
[soft music]

305
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:58,290
- You know, from up there,
there's no wall.

306
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:10,594
We thought this would last
two minutes,

307
00:16:10,637 --> 00:16:13,180
that we would put the tarp
and take a photo,

308
00:16:13,223 --> 00:16:15,432
and that's it;
we have to take everything up.

309
00:16:15,475 --> 00:16:17,643
And 5 minute passed,
10 minute passed,

310
00:16:17,686 --> 00:16:20,771
15, 20, 30,
one hour, we're still eating.

311
00:16:24,359 --> 00:16:26,110
It was just a nice lunch
with music.

312
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:29,071
And for a moment, we really
forgot there was a wall.

313
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:43,335
This is the eye of a woman
who's a Dreamer.

314
00:16:43,378 --> 00:16:47,047
Dreamer is someone who had
come to the United States

315
00:16:47,090 --> 00:16:48,507
when she was very little

316
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:51,510
with her parents
but illegally.

317
00:16:51,553 --> 00:16:53,262
Her name is Mayra.

318
00:16:53,304 --> 00:16:54,805
I told her not to come,
'cause they say

319
00:16:54,848 --> 00:16:56,765
there's a big chance
we'll get arrested.

320
00:16:56,808 --> 00:17:00,185
But not only she came;
she came with her mother.

321
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:03,731
- With DACA ending,
I have very few months left

322
00:17:03,773 --> 00:17:07,359
being able to be this brave
and come to the border.

323
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:16,118
- It's only an hour
and a half later,

324
00:17:16,161 --> 00:17:18,078
then the Border Patrol came.

325
00:17:18,121 --> 00:17:20,205
Everybody got scared.

326
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:22,082
I told them, "All right,
send him over to me."

327
00:17:22,125 --> 00:17:25,210
I was on the safe side.
I was in Mexico anyway.

328
00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:27,087
I was not even trying
to justify myself.

329
00:17:27,130 --> 00:17:29,548
I said, "Look," you know.
And he said, "I know. I know."

330
00:17:29,591 --> 00:17:31,759
Turns out, they were
watching us the whole time

331
00:17:31,801 --> 00:17:33,552
but had decided
to let it happen.

332
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:36,638
Thank you.
Can you share tea with me?

333
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:39,391
- Sure.

334
00:17:39,434 --> 00:17:41,393
- Salud. Thank you.

335
00:17:41,436 --> 00:17:43,771
- Thank you.

336
00:17:43,813 --> 00:17:45,439
- A Chinese tea
at the Mexican border.

337
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:48,192
How's that?
[laughter]

338
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:50,569
He went and talked with Mayra.

339
00:17:50,612 --> 00:17:52,237
When she came that morning,

340
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,156
we never thought she would be
talking with an officer.

341
00:17:54,199 --> 00:17:58,577
And he told her that he also
had family on the other side.

342
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:00,454
And they were talking.

343
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:07,336
That made me realize that art
can go places beyond laws,

344
00:18:07,379 --> 00:18:09,755
beyond rules, beyond borders.

345
00:18:09,798 --> 00:18:12,466
Maybe because art is not
part of any organization.

346
00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:14,259
It's not part of the state.

347
00:18:14,302 --> 00:18:17,763
It's something that we own--
we, the people, own.

348
00:18:17,806 --> 00:18:20,474
And that's why it goes so far.

349
00:18:20,517 --> 00:18:23,727
- That little kid say,
"Hey, I'm here!

350
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:26,230
I'm exist!"
[laughter]

351
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:28,148
"I'm not terrorist!"

352
00:18:28,191 --> 00:18:29,483
- A future, a better future,

353
00:18:29,526 --> 00:18:31,819
that's what it means for me.

354
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:04,476
[flashbulb popping]
- Yeah.

355
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:06,603
Nice, and now looking down
in front of you.

356
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:08,605
Yeah, perfect.

357
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:11,233
I like when you hold it there.

358
00:19:11,276 --> 00:19:12,526
Nice.

359
00:19:12,569 --> 00:19:15,195
- You certainly, as a kid,
don't think of this,

360
00:19:15,238 --> 00:19:17,865
that you're gonna do life
in prison, as a kid,

361
00:19:17,907 --> 00:19:19,825
doing the things
that you've done.

362
00:19:19,868 --> 00:19:22,619
You know, there's a lot
of fences and walls in here

363
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:25,664
to keep us in,
but it does more than that.

364
00:19:25,707 --> 00:19:28,751
It destroys who we are,
destroys our families.

365
00:19:28,793 --> 00:19:30,294
- You were a, what,
graffiti artist before?

366
00:19:30,337 --> 00:19:31,628
- Yeah. Yeah.

367
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:32,880
- That's funny,
'cause I kind of started off,

368
00:19:32,922 --> 00:19:33,964
you know, kind of into
that little lifestyle.

369
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:35,549
- Oh, yeah?

370
00:19:35,592 --> 00:19:37,509
- The only difference is that
my transition kind of ending up

371
00:19:37,552 --> 00:19:39,970
going a different,
you know, way after.

372
00:19:40,013 --> 00:19:41,847
- 14 years,
you had no human contact.

373
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:43,515
- No, just when
they cuff you up...

374
00:19:43,558 --> 00:19:44,767
- Yeah.
- And they take you out.

375
00:19:44,809 --> 00:19:45,893
That's it.

376
00:19:45,935 --> 00:19:47,686
[somber music]

377
00:19:47,729 --> 00:19:50,522
- Still can't really
believe those--

378
00:19:50,565 --> 00:19:52,858
those human cages.

379
00:19:52,901 --> 00:19:54,360
Insane.

380
00:19:56,404 --> 00:20:00,866
Well, here the bird gets free
in the human cages.

381
00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:02,868
We hope that this image
will get around the world.

382
00:20:02,911 --> 00:20:04,370
People will see.
- Definitely.

383
00:20:04,412 --> 00:20:06,705
- And then they'll be like,
"Okay, who is that person?"

384
00:20:06,748 --> 00:20:08,457
And actually,
when you take the image

385
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:09,833
and you put your hand
on any person,

386
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:11,543
you can hear their story
right away.

387
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:12,711
- Wow, that's awesome.

388
00:20:12,754 --> 00:20:14,004
- We're putting, like,
an app for this

389
00:20:14,047 --> 00:20:15,798
or something that you can
click on, you know,

390
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,676
and then you hear
the stories of the people.

391
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:21,470
- My name's Kevin.
I was a gang member.

392
00:20:21,513 --> 00:20:23,013
I put my whole life and focus

393
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:25,724
into what I was doing
at the moment.

394
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:26,892
Really, I was just trying
to, like,

395
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:29,019
people-please other people.

396
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:31,438
I knew that this wasn't
what I wanted,

397
00:20:31,481 --> 00:20:33,732
but I was scared.

398
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:36,402
I'm not the person
that you see.

399
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:38,696
How do you say
that you're a loving person

400
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:40,364
with this on my face,
you know?

401
00:20:40,407 --> 00:20:43,283
And I was trying to explain,
like, what it was.

402
00:20:43,326 --> 00:20:46,870
I mean, it was a prison thing,
and it's not really, like,

403
00:20:46,913 --> 00:20:48,831
how, like, I perceive
other people, you know?

404
00:20:48,873 --> 00:20:49,873
- Yeah.

405
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,960
- And it made me
feel really ashamed.

406
00:20:53,003 --> 00:20:55,421
- Yeah. Yeah, like that.
That's great.

407
00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:58,966
- I'm not just a monster
that society sees me as.

408
00:20:59,009 --> 00:21:02,052
I'm a person.
I'm a man. I'm a human.

409
00:21:02,095 --> 00:21:04,054
- Hello, outside world.
My name's Richard.

410
00:21:04,097 --> 00:21:05,472
- My name is Nicholas.

411
00:21:05,515 --> 00:21:06,974
- My name is Raul Cios.
- My name is Frankie Vasquez.

412
00:21:07,017 --> 00:21:08,392
- My name
is Francisco Olivares.

413
00:21:08,435 --> 00:21:10,060
- My name's Yang.
- My name's Chris.

414
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:11,395
- My name is Carlton Fields.
- My name's Alejandro Serrano.

415
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:12,896
- My name is Alex.

416
00:21:26,536 --> 00:21:29,496
[soft music]

417
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:39,798
- The biggest mountains
and walls we have to pass

418
00:21:39,841 --> 00:21:40,966
are within ourselves.

419
00:21:41,009 --> 00:21:44,011
They're not in front of us.

420
00:21:44,054 --> 00:21:47,431
When I see a guy
with swastika on his face,

421
00:21:47,474 --> 00:21:50,392
of course that's, like,
a instant wall and fear.

422
00:21:53,396 --> 00:21:56,648
But when Kevin,
the guy with the swastika,

423
00:21:56,691 --> 00:21:59,109
walked up for me
to photograph him,

424
00:21:59,152 --> 00:22:02,488
I was like, "Wow,
if I don't ask him now,

425
00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:06,533
"when in my life I would have
the opportunity to ask,

426
00:22:06,576 --> 00:22:08,494
"'Hey, man, can I ask you
what the fuck is this?'

427
00:22:08,536 --> 00:22:09,995
You know?"

428
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:16,585
Of course I have fear.

429
00:22:16,628 --> 00:22:18,796
Also have boundaries.

430
00:22:18,838 --> 00:22:22,132
My work every day
push me to fight them.

431
00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:32,685
- Come around. Come around
this side and paint your face.

432
00:22:32,727 --> 00:22:34,853
Go, go, go, go, go.

433
00:22:34,896 --> 00:22:36,855
- All right, guys,
let's keep the rhythm.

434
00:22:36,898 --> 00:22:38,399
- I need some glue here.

435
00:22:38,441 --> 00:22:40,150
- In between lines,
that's the most important,

436
00:22:40,193 --> 00:22:42,569
'cause that's where the wind
will get it and fuck it up.

437
00:22:42,612 --> 00:22:43,821
- Yeah.

438
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:45,698
- Oh, you see
the first eye and ear.

439
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:47,700
- What's going on?
- Look at that.

440
00:22:47,742 --> 00:22:49,159
- That's his eye.
He says that's his.

441
00:22:49,202 --> 00:22:53,414
- That's yours? Yes.
First one up.

442
00:22:53,456 --> 00:22:55,833
[indistinct chatter]

443
00:23:00,130 --> 00:23:02,881
- If you see anything weird
in here, just...

444
00:23:02,924 --> 00:23:05,509
[indistinct chatter]

445
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,852
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

446
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:16,854
Go all the way, all the way,
all the way.

447
00:23:20,942 --> 00:23:24,445
- Right here? Right here?
- Yeah.

448
00:23:24,487 --> 00:23:25,988
- Are you in there?
- Yeah, right here.

449
00:23:26,031 --> 00:23:29,908
- That's right, you?
Oh, my God.

450
00:23:29,951 --> 00:23:32,911
- Right here.
- [laughs]

451
00:23:32,954 --> 00:23:34,788
Cassie, what are you doing?

452
00:23:34,831 --> 00:23:37,624
Yeah?
She got the dream team.

453
00:23:37,667 --> 00:23:39,460
Come on, come on, come on.

454
00:23:39,502 --> 00:23:41,754
Keep the rhythm, guys.

455
00:23:41,796 --> 00:23:43,213
Every line, every line.

456
00:23:43,256 --> 00:23:44,465
How is it doing here?

457
00:23:44,507 --> 00:23:46,759
No line, no line, no line.
Where's the crack?

458
00:23:46,801 --> 00:23:49,470
- Running low on glue.

459
00:23:49,512 --> 00:23:50,763
- Get cracking, boys.

460
00:23:50,805 --> 00:23:52,598
- Those cracks, those cracks.

461
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,518
Every detail like that
adds something, actually.

462
00:23:56,561 --> 00:23:59,897
You know, people think
it's done on the computer.

463
00:24:08,656 --> 00:24:11,158
Bringing you some extras.
[laughs]

464
00:24:11,201 --> 00:24:14,119
- Just make sure that that glue
is just right flat, Captain.

465
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:19,708
- Out of everything, I never
thought I would see this.

466
00:24:19,751 --> 00:24:21,627
- Teamwork, dream work.

467
00:24:21,670 --> 00:24:23,545
- Oh, come on, I got wind.
I got wind. Come on.

468
00:24:23,588 --> 00:24:25,255
Oh, come on.

469
00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:37,184
[indistinct chatter]

470
00:24:37,227 --> 00:24:38,852
- Let's go!

471
00:24:38,895 --> 00:24:41,647
- That's the way.
That's the way.

472
00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:43,732
The guys cleaned
the yard yesterday.

473
00:24:43,775 --> 00:24:44,817
They say they cleaned
the blood.

474
00:24:44,859 --> 00:24:46,985
They cleaned the tear gas.
- Yeah.

475
00:24:47,028 --> 00:24:48,278
- It's hard to imagine
there's violence

476
00:24:48,321 --> 00:24:49,279
every day on this yard.

477
00:24:49,322 --> 00:24:50,864
- Yeah.

478
00:24:50,907 --> 00:24:52,533
- How many guys you saw
being stabbed here?

479
00:24:52,575 --> 00:24:54,952
- It's 11 years' worth.

480
00:24:54,994 --> 00:24:56,704
You know, I was raised here.

481
00:24:56,746 --> 00:24:58,997
I never really imagined
that one day, you could get out

482
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,750
and do something that you're
never even gonna believe.

483
00:25:01,793 --> 00:25:03,127
And the more we think
like that,

484
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:06,672
the more we're gonna be able
to obtain those dreams.

485
00:25:06,715 --> 00:25:09,550
You know,
people want to be this big

486
00:25:09,592 --> 00:25:10,884
from way up there.

487
00:25:10,927 --> 00:25:13,846
Know what I mean?
We could see it.

488
00:25:13,888 --> 00:25:17,016
We want to be that big
from way up there.

489
00:25:17,058 --> 00:25:19,977
And it doesn't take much.

490
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:22,896
Just a little hope,
a little effort, and we got it.

491
00:25:22,939 --> 00:25:24,773
- And some paper.
- And some paper.

492
00:25:24,816 --> 00:25:27,109
[laughter]

493
00:25:27,152 --> 00:25:30,279
- That's the crew right there.

494
00:25:30,321 --> 00:25:32,865
[laughs]

495
00:25:32,907 --> 00:25:35,868
Pizza time. Pizza.
- Pizza time.

496
00:25:35,910 --> 00:25:37,202
- So I'm back in here.

497
00:25:37,245 --> 00:25:38,871
Oh, my God,
look at these shadows.

498
00:25:38,913 --> 00:25:40,998
Let's turn this way.
With Kevin.

499
00:25:41,041 --> 00:25:42,333
- How's it going?
- Good. And you?

500
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:43,792
- Good.

501
00:25:43,835 --> 00:25:46,045
- I put the portrait
I took of you, you know,

502
00:25:46,087 --> 00:25:48,797
and--on social media,

503
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,215
and people were like, "Oh."

504
00:25:50,258 --> 00:25:54,011
They were really--
I think people

505
00:25:54,054 --> 00:25:55,179
were touched by your photo

506
00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:57,890
because of the depth
in your eyes

507
00:25:57,932 --> 00:25:59,266
and what you share

508
00:25:59,309 --> 00:26:01,810
and conflicted because of...
- Yeah.

509
00:26:01,853 --> 00:26:03,270
- Your tattoo on your cheek.

510
00:26:03,313 --> 00:26:06,023
- Right, I understand
that the symbols I wear

511
00:26:06,066 --> 00:26:08,067
represent hate to many people,

512
00:26:08,109 --> 00:26:09,068
and so people
are automatically gonna have

513
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:10,319
a conflict with that.

514
00:26:10,362 --> 00:26:11,403
When we come in here,

515
00:26:11,446 --> 00:26:13,155
we're forced to fight
for our lives...

516

It was that process.

You made that rooftop."

I see the bag that was there.

And I loved it.

625
00:32:31,743 --> 00:32:33,702
I would just
make photocopies of it,

626

to the people I photograph.

But my photos
were really small,

so you wouldn't
really notice them.

632
00:32:52,347 --> 00:32:54,765
So I started framing
those photos.

with all those photos,

but we didn't know
what to do with it.

700

was all those buildings.

- We didn't want
to get arrested,

708
00:38:21,468 --> 00:38:23,635
so we asked all the kids
from the neighborhood

709
00:38:23,678 --> 00:38:25,637
to come and hang them
by the pasting

710
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,681
so that the cops
wouldn't stop us.

711

there'll be, like, 100 of us,

01:00:42,934 --> 01:00:44,018
I have to go back to Brazil.

870
01:00:44,060 --> 01:00:45,811
- Wow. That's crazy.

871
01:00:45,854 --> 01:00:48,897
It's a burden that you cannot
be with the students,

872
01:00:48,940 --> 01:00:50,899
you know,
for the final show of the year

873
01:00:50,942 --> 01:00:52,443
and that you're forced
to go back.

874
01:00:52,485 --> 01:00:58,115
But it's actually a big chance
for us--I hope for you too--

875
01:00:58,158 --> 01:01:00,826
to go there and connect
with the two worlds.

876
01:01:00,869 --> 01:01:02,036
- Mm-hmm.

877
01:01:02,078 --> 01:01:04,121
- I went to Brazil
when I was 23, 24.

878
01:01:04,164 --> 01:01:08,125
I don't actually remember,
but there was an incident

879
01:01:08,168 --> 01:01:11,003
in--very violent
incident in Rio

880
01:01:11,046 --> 01:01:13,005
in one of the favela
called Provid ncia.

881
01:01:13,048 --> 01:01:14,173
- I remember.
- You remember it.

882
01:01:14,215 --> 01:01:19,261
- [speaking portuguese]

883
01:01:19,304 --> 01:01:21,180
- Those three kids
were just walking to school

884
01:01:21,222 --> 01:01:24,016
in the favela in Brazil,

885
01:01:24,059 --> 01:01:25,726
and they were arrested
by the police.

886
01:01:25,769 --> 01:01:27,019
"Oh, you don't have
your papers?

887
01:01:27,062 --> 01:01:28,354
Come with us."

888
01:01:28,396 --> 01:01:31,148
And the police sold them
to an enemy favela,

889
01:01:31,191 --> 01:01:34,026
where they got killed
and chopped into pieces.

890
01:01:34,069 --> 01:01:45,037
[somber music]

891
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:50,959
- [yelling in portuguese]

[people chanting in portuguese]

893
01:01:52,253 --> 01:01:53,504
- Three kids being killed

894
01:01:53,546 --> 01:01:55,297
at the hands of the police
in Brazil,

895
01:01:55,340 --> 01:01:58,967
it reminded me of the deaths
of Zyed and Bouna

896
01:01:59,010 --> 01:02:00,511
in Montfermeil, Les Bosquets.

897
01:02:00,553 --> 01:02:04,223
But I'm not gonna just hear
what the news is telling me.

898
01:02:04,265 --> 01:02:06,225
I want to hear it by myself.

899
01:02:06,267 --> 01:02:08,394
I want to meet those people.

900
01:02:08,436 --> 01:02:11,980
[dramatic music]

901
01:02:15,235 --> 01:02:17,444
So I went there, 2008.

902
01:02:19,823 --> 01:02:23,409
[children mimicking gunfire]

903
01:02:26,246 --> 01:02:31,542
- [speaking portuguese]

904
01:02:36,131 --> 01:02:37,548
- When I got there,
I understood

905
01:02:37,590 --> 01:02:40,467
that it was
a complicated favela.

906
01:02:40,510 --> 01:02:44,138
It's the home of the--one of
the largest commando of drug

907
01:02:44,180 --> 01:02:45,556
called the Red Commando.

908
01:02:45,598 --> 01:02:48,559
[gunfire]

909
01:02:51,271 --> 01:02:53,272
The community, because
of all the drug dealing,

910
01:02:53,314 --> 01:02:55,274
there are a lot of guns
involved.

911
01:02:55,316 --> 01:02:59,236
- [speaking portuguese]

912
01:02:59,279 --> 01:03:02,865
- [speaking portuguese]

913
01:03:05,493 --> 01:03:09,038
I saw how impossible it was
to walk in the favelas.

914
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,875
So I started taking photos
on the edge of the favela.

915
01:03:20,300 --> 01:03:23,469
As I walked around,
I met Rosiete,

916
01:03:23,511 --> 01:03:25,262
and she saw that I was
clearly not from there,

917
01:03:25,305 --> 01:03:27,389
you know, that I was a gringo,
like you say in Brazil,

918
01:03:27,432 --> 01:03:29,308
for foreigners.
- Yes.

919
01:03:29,351 --> 01:03:32,144
- So she said,
"What are you doing?"

920
01:03:32,187 --> 01:03:33,479
And I say,
"Hey, I'm an artist.

921
01:03:33,521 --> 01:03:35,314
"I'm actually trying
to do a project about women

922
01:03:35,357 --> 01:03:37,941
"and how they are the pillar
of their community.

923
01:03:37,984 --> 01:03:39,610
"I've been working
in Kenya, Liberia,

924
01:03:39,652 --> 01:03:41,945
Sierra Leone,
and other countries."

925
01:03:44,115 --> 01:03:46,283
And she say, "Well, you know,
we need art here.

926
01:03:46,326 --> 01:03:47,493
There's not enough art."

927
01:03:47,535 --> 01:03:49,078
And I was like,
"Yeah, can I come?"

928
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,163
She says, "No. Go home.

929
01:03:51,206 --> 01:03:52,539
"Leave your bag.
Leave everything.

930
01:03:52,582 --> 01:03:54,541
"Tomorrow, come back
the same place.

931
01:03:54,584 --> 01:03:57,961
You see that street?
Go up the street, all the way."

932
01:04:00,465 --> 01:04:01,965
"Anyone who stops you
with a gun,

933
01:04:02,008 --> 01:04:04,551
you tell them you're coming
to see Rosiete."

934
01:04:09,099 --> 01:04:10,432
When I got up there,

935
01:04:10,475 --> 01:04:12,518
she was waiting for me
on the main square.

936
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,229
And she said,
"We want to introduce you

937
01:04:15,271 --> 01:04:16,480
to someone
from the community."

938
01:04:16,523 --> 01:04:18,899
I was like, "Yeah, sure.
Who?"

939
01:04:18,942 --> 01:04:20,651
"His name is Mauricio.
He's a photographer."

940
01:04:20,694 --> 01:04:22,444
So, you know, in my head,
I'm like,

941
01:04:22,487 --> 01:04:24,655
"Okay, cool, but we don't
really need a photographer.

942
01:04:24,698 --> 01:04:26,657
"I need to know
how I can paste on the house.

943
01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:28,325
I want to take portraits."

944
01:04:28,368 --> 01:04:30,494
They're like, "No, you need
to talk to Mauricio."

945
01:04:30,537 --> 01:04:32,246
So then Mauricio arrives.

946
01:04:32,288 --> 01:04:35,374
He's born there, raised there,
knows everyone.

947
01:04:35,417 --> 01:04:38,377
Rather than explaining
what I wanted to do,

948
01:04:38,420 --> 01:04:41,005
I took portraits that I had
from other projects,

949
01:04:41,047 --> 01:04:42,548
and using my computer,

950
01:04:42,590 --> 01:04:46,468
I placed eyes on the house
in Provid ncia.

951
01:04:46,511 --> 01:04:49,096
And I brought him
that piece of paper.

952
01:04:49,139 --> 01:04:51,223
Then he understood.

953
01:04:51,266 --> 01:04:52,558
He smiled, because suddenly

954
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,144
it was a project
on his favela.

955
01:04:55,186 --> 01:04:56,395
"Oh, you know this one?"

956
01:04:56,438 --> 01:04:58,981
"Yes, that's my neighbor."

957
01:05:00,275 --> 01:05:02,568
And we walked
through the favela.

958
01:05:06,614 --> 01:05:08,282
He knocks at the door,
and she said,

959
01:05:08,324 --> 01:05:10,117
"What's up, Mauricio?
What can I do?"

960
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,370
"Nah, he wants to know if he
can paste on your house."

961
01:05:13,413 --> 01:05:16,248
"Yeah, was it?
Is it political?"

962
01:05:16,291 --> 01:05:17,499
"No, no, it's not political."

963
01:05:17,542 --> 01:05:19,960
"Is it gonna damage my house?"

964
01:05:20,003 --> 01:05:21,628
"No, no."
"Okay, then come in.

965
01:05:21,671 --> 01:05:23,630
You want to--you want
to do it now?"

966
01:05:23,673 --> 01:05:25,299
"Oh, no, no, no.
We're not ready.

967
01:05:25,342 --> 01:05:27,051
He's just--I'm asking
if you want."

968
01:05:27,093 --> 01:05:30,095
"Of course! Why do you bother?
Just come and do it."

969
01:05:30,138 --> 01:05:34,641
So I take the paper,
and I go, fwt, checked.

970
01:05:34,684 --> 01:05:38,062
So then we went
to the next house.

971
01:05:38,104 --> 01:05:39,188
Check.

972
01:05:42,233 --> 01:05:43,442
Maybe Saturday or Sunday,

973
01:05:43,485 --> 01:05:44,610
because her husband
was working,

974
01:05:44,652 --> 01:05:46,570
so we'd have the answer
on the weekend.

975
01:05:48,448 --> 01:05:50,032
Most of the people were like,
"Sure! Do it."

976
01:05:56,122 --> 01:05:57,414
Mauricio said, "Okay,

977
01:05:57,457 --> 01:06:02,086
you need to meet
the head of the drug dealers."

978
01:06:02,128 --> 01:06:06,548
So one night,
we walk down the favela.

979
01:06:06,591 --> 01:06:10,719
Kids with machine guns,
grenades, bulletproof jackets.

980
01:06:10,762 --> 01:06:12,554
We arrive, and there
was three leaders,

981
01:06:12,597 --> 01:06:14,473
and they ask us straightaway,

982
01:06:14,516 --> 01:06:16,016
"So yo, who are you?
What do you want?"

983
01:06:16,059 --> 01:06:17,601
And we say, "Oh, no,
we're artists from France."

984
01:06:17,644 --> 01:06:19,019
And I'm there,
and I'm with Ladj.

985
01:06:19,062 --> 01:06:20,729
He came with me.
And we have our computer.

986
01:06:20,772 --> 01:06:22,690
And I say, "Okay, look,
this is what we've done

987
01:06:22,732 --> 01:06:24,358
in the favelas of France,
you know?"

988
01:06:24,401 --> 01:06:27,152
And they look, and it's like,
"What? This is not a favela.

989
01:06:27,195 --> 01:06:28,445
This is the richest building."

990
01:06:28,488 --> 01:06:29,571
"Oh, yeah, yeah, okay."

991
01:06:29,614 --> 01:06:31,323
I show them
Israel-Palestine project.

992
01:06:31,366 --> 01:06:32,616
This project right here.
- Mm-hmm.

993
01:06:32,659 --> 01:06:35,160
- We pasted the wall
in Israel-Palestine.

994
01:06:35,203 --> 01:06:40,249
And one of the guys say,
"What is Israel-Palestine?"

995
01:06:40,291 --> 01:06:42,042
They never heard of it.

996
01:06:42,085 --> 01:06:43,627
And I couldn't find a bridge
to explain to them

997
01:06:43,670 --> 01:06:44,712
what were the other projects.

998
01:06:44,754 --> 01:06:45,879
So I closed it,
and we're like,

999
01:06:45,922 --> 01:06:47,506
"Okay, look,
this is what we want to do.

1000
01:06:47,549 --> 01:06:49,383
We took those photos.
We want to paste them."

1001
01:06:49,426 --> 01:06:50,801
[indistinct chatter]

1002
01:06:50,844 --> 01:06:54,263
The next day,
we started pasting the stair.

1003
01:06:54,305 --> 01:06:58,267
The stair is actually right
in the heart of the favela.

1004
01:06:58,309 --> 01:06:59,685
You can't see it from outside.

1005
01:06:59,728 --> 01:07:02,354
It's just something
that only the locals can see.

1006
01:07:02,397 --> 01:07:04,481
So we paste.
It's a beautiful day.

1007
01:07:04,524 --> 01:07:05,607
And then suddenly...

1008
01:07:05,650 --> 01:07:12,489

They understood

There was no need to explain.
There was no text to put.

I didn't want to do
any interview.

1049
01:15:37,162 --> 01:15:39,913
- When I was back in Brazil
a couple months after,

1050
01:15:39,956 --> 01:15:42,333
the people in the favela
were telling me,

1051
01:15:42,375 --> 01:15:45,919
"JR, there's no school there.
There's no NGO.

1052
01:15:45,962 --> 01:15:48,005
There's nothing.
You have to do one."

1053
01:15:48,048 --> 01:15:49,298
And I was 24.

1054
01:15:49,341 --> 01:15:51,050
"What, you want me
to create a school?

1055
01:15:51,092 --> 01:15:52,634
Like, I can't do that."

1056
01:15:52,677 --> 01:15:55,054
Mauricio kept calling me:
"JR, there's this house.

1057
01:15:55,096 --> 01:15:56,305
"This house is empty

1058
01:15:56,348 --> 01:15:58,140
"because it keeps
receiving bullets

1059
01:15:58,183 --> 01:16:01,018
"from the different shootings,
so no one wants it,

1060
01:16:01,061 --> 01:16:02,770
"and the old man
wants to sell it.

1061
01:16:02,812 --> 01:16:03,937
You should buy it."

1062
01:16:03,980 --> 01:16:05,272
So I gathered the money,
and I went there.

1063
01:16:05,315 --> 01:16:07,691
I actually taped
the money on my body.

1064
01:16:07,734 --> 01:16:11,362
And I walked up and bought
the house from the old man.

1065
01:16:11,404 --> 01:16:14,073
The first thing we did
when we got the house

1066
01:16:14,115 --> 01:16:16,283
was go down the hill
to the paint shop

1067
01:16:16,326 --> 01:16:18,952
and bought
all the yellow they had,

1068
01:16:18,995 --> 01:16:21,246
'cause there was a sale
that day on the yellow.

1069
01:16:21,289 --> 01:16:23,916
And we called the house
Casa Amarela,

1070
01:16:23,958 --> 01:16:26,377
the Yellow House.

1071
01:16:26,419 --> 01:16:30,047
That's it.
And then we had no problem.

- There was no chairs,
no tables, nothing.

1078
01:16:54,989 --> 01:16:56,365
So our best idea was, like,

1079
01:16:56,408 --> 01:16:58,826
"Oh, let's give a camera"
to the kids.

01:18:47,519 --> 01:18:49,228
and we pasted it,
and then we decided

1091
01:18:49,270 --> 01:18:52,356
to celebrate
the launch of Casa Amarela.

1092
01:18:52,399 --> 01:18:54,483
I thought it would be amazing

1093
01:18:54,526 --> 01:18:57,236
if we actually get
the people from the city

1094
01:18:57,278 --> 01:18:58,779
to come up there,
people who live there

1095

and never been up there.

1096

"Okay, tonight
we want to launch this house,

this time, I walk up,
they raise their shirt,

back and front,

1112

anything about art,

what we've done,

their gun for an opening.

It's been ten years.

01:20:47,013 --> 01:20:48,347
We built everything ourself.

The class, the boards,
everything is handmade.

1123
01:20:52,227 --> 01:20:54,061

one from Japan,

one from the U.S.,

1125
01:20:55,563 --> 01:20:57,523
and they covered
the entire house

in and out of the doors.

and with better years
than others.

1129
01:21:15,500 --> 01:21:20,212
How do you show those kids
another path than drugs?

1130
01:21:20,255 --> 01:21:21,964
And we couldn't do it
for every kid.

1131
01:21:22,007 --> 01:21:25,259
A lot of those kids
ended up being drug dealers.

And if you look at that photo,

1135
01:21:30,682 --> 01:21:33,225
he's the only one who survived,
all those kids.

1136
01:21:33,268 --> 01:21:36,228
Most of them went
into drug dealing or died.

1137
01:21:36,271 --> 01:21:38,480
That's just
the reality of life.

1138
01:21:38,523 --> 01:21:41,358
Art will not save everyone
and everything.

1139
01:21:42,986 --> 01:21:45,362
But when these projects
shine all over the world,

1140
01:21:45,405 --> 01:21:47,114
showing a positive message

1141
01:21:47,157 --> 01:21:48,615
for once
for one of those places,

1142
01:21:48,658 --> 01:21:51,160
then they understood
the power of art.

1143
01:21:51,202 --> 01:21:53,245
What happened is,
the mayor saw this favela--

1144
01:21:53,288 --> 01:21:57,499
the one he had wished, before,
didn't exist--on TV every day

1145
01:21:57,542 --> 01:22:00,544
but this time,
for positive things.

1146
01:22:00,587 --> 01:22:02,671
So he send the garbage truck.

1147
01:22:02,714 --> 01:22:05,174
Then he send electricity:
"Let's redo those cables."

1148
01:22:05,216 --> 01:22:07,259
So since then,
a lot of things had happened.

1149
01:22:09,679 --> 01:22:12,181
But we were struggling
to bring artists there.

1150
01:22:12,223 --> 01:22:13,599
It's really hard to get people

1151
01:22:13,641 --> 01:22:15,642
past the fear
of going in a place

1152
01:22:15,685 --> 01:22:18,103
where there is
all this violence.

1153
01:22:20,148 --> 01:22:22,441
I looked at them, I'm like,
"Well, we're in here.

1154
01:22:22,484 --> 01:22:25,194
"The police, the states
don't come

1155
01:22:25,236 --> 01:22:26,445
"and ask us any question.

1156
01:22:26,488 --> 01:22:28,614
We can do whatever we want."

1157
01:22:28,656 --> 01:22:30,282
I went to see my neighbor,
and I say,

1158
01:22:30,325 --> 01:22:31,617
"Excuse me,
I have a question for you.

1159
01:22:31,659 --> 01:22:35,746
What happen if we build
something in the sky?"

1160
01:22:35,789 --> 01:22:36,914
Said, "Well, I don't care.

1161
01:22:36,956 --> 01:22:38,457
"You know, as long
as it doesn't impact me,

1162
01:22:38,500 --> 01:22:40,542
do whatever you want."

1163
01:22:40,585 --> 01:22:42,544
So I said, "Well, I want
to build a moon up there

1164
01:22:42,587 --> 01:22:44,588
"that everyone sees it
from all over the city.

1165
01:22:44,631 --> 01:22:46,465

to be a bedroom

you when you'll go there--

And it's open.

1173
01:23:15,161 --> 01:23:17,496
This is the moon, guys.

1174
01:23:17,539 --> 01:23:20,457
This is my favorite place,
where the teachers who come

1175
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:25,796
and give class in the school
can come in and sleep.

1176
01:23:25,839 --> 01:23:28,465
There's even AC in there.

1177
01:23:28,508 --> 01:23:31,802
And then if you open...

1178
01:23:38,852 --> 01:23:43,147
What's up, baby?

1179
01:23:43,189 --> 01:23:44,732
That's really top of the moon.

1180
01:23:58,580 --> 01:24:00,789
There are limits that we all
have within ourself,

1181
01:24:00,832 --> 01:24:03,667
limits about
what we think is possible

1182
01:24:03,710 --> 01:24:05,794
and what we think is not.

1183
01:24:05,837 --> 01:24:07,755
I have those too.

And yet people constantly
show me that these limits

1185
01:24:10,759 --> 01:24:13,510
are not where
we think they are.

1186
01:24:13,553 --> 01:24:15,763
