Paulo Bastos, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1970
Of Houses guest curated by Cristian Valenzuela Pinto (Deseopolis / Sin Título Zine): Backdrops This
house was used during early shooting stages of the HBO original series ‘‘PSI’’ in
Sao Paulo. Negotiations and permits to work with Vilanova Artigas’ Rubens da
Mendoca house fell through, and Alto Pinheiros was the logical choice. Unfortunately
it was discarded shortly after that, as it proved hard for the filming crew to move
around the space that connected the private and common areas inside the house.
First and second camera assistants fell from the stairs while shooting. Finally, the
production went for a conventional apartment on a middle-upper class suburb in
the city. (All Photos © Flavio Bragaia.)
