This work is the result of monitoring the demolition of some properties in the Cracolândia region, in São Paulo, as part of the State's controversial operation to inhibit the concentration of drug users in the region.
The properties depicted in this essay had been occupied by users for over two years in the most precarious conditions. With the police action, the users were removed from the premises and the buildings were demolished within a few days.
The conditions in which these people lived aroused my curiosity about this place. If the place where we live says a lot about ourselves, I believed that I could understand these people better through these remains. These precarious buildings can be considered a representation of the very conditions of the people who lived there.
There is a lot of talk about Cracolânia, but few people know how the mind of someone addicted to this devastating drug works.
