Cinema Lascado (Chipped Movie) is an going video project by Giselle Beiguelman. It portrays devasted urban landscapes, where elevated expressways produced social fractures in the cultural territory of the cities in which they were built. Till now it focuses the Minhocão (“Big Worm”, officially the Costa e Silva elevated expressway) in São Paulo and the Perimetral (elevado Negrão de Lima) in Rio de Janeiro. The first one was built in 1969, in the context of the Brazilian Dictactorship government. The second one, was built in the 1950s, in the Bossa Nova period and was imploded recently in 2014. Both are huge expressways, scars in the urban tissue of those cities.
