In 2016, Rio de Janeiro has reached the state of "public disaster" – most serious level statewide, because of its huge financial debt. This crisis affected not only public servants, whose salaries were frequently delayed, but also entire population. Unemployment has increased, as well as inflation and social problems.

Several businesses have closed, and signs like "step" and “rent” are seen in every corner. This trend also happens in commercials circulating in backs of newspaper stores and in totems installed in sidewalks.

Remnants of advertising, erased drawings and led panels illuminating the void express crisis moment.
