Alexandre da Cunha: Mix II 

Rochaverá Corporate Towers

Mix II is Alexandre da Cunha’s first large scale public commission in Sao Paulo. Made using the drum of a concrete mixer truck and cast concrete - objects traditionally used in the production of public buildings - they now become objects to be looked at for their own form. These materials are especially significant in Brazil and to Da Cunha where concrete has played such a significant role both in art and architecture. 

Da Cunha has described his practice not as ‘making’ but as ‘pointing’. Pointing at existing objects in our everyday surroundings, and highlighting or revealing new and unexpected facets or meanings within them.
