The exclusive edition by Cássio Vasconcellos is an extension of the series "Coletivo", a 12-meter-long panel with photographs of 50,000 cars that look like miniatures, in which the photographer digitally manipulates the image using hundreds of aerial photographs. Seen up close, the vehicles - in fact cut out, colored and inserted one by one into the image - refer to traffic, to the excess of cars, like a traffic jam in suspension, immobilized. In "Coletivo-circuito" the artist uses the circular and rotating resource where, by giving the impulse to turn it, he transmits to the viewer the sensation of fluidity and the illusion of movement of the cars.
