The materiality of the works highlighted the dramatic dimension of both events and opened up a series of meanings that are in turn linked to Latin American history and Brazilian art. This topic had been addressed by Nuno Ramos in 1992 (the year of the killings in the penitentiary) in 111, a striking installation made up of stones, light bulbs and tar as basic elements. Based on the book Estação Carandiru by Drauzio Varella, film director Héctor Babenco shot Carandiru (2003), where he portrayed the massacre committed by the military police. This work proposes a revision of visual aspects linked to archives and memory based on given cultural imaginaries including installations, objects and films, where the massacre is represented from different aesthetic, political and poetic modalities. A comienzos del siglo XXI la artista Lygia Pape realizó Carandiru, una instalación caracterizada por el uso del color rojo en alusión directa tanto a la masacre de 1992 perpetrada en el penal de São Paulo, como al genocidio indígena durante el Brasil colonial. La materialidad de la obra enfatiza la dimensión dramática de ambos acontecimientos y abre una serie de significaciones que se enlazan, a su vez, con la historia latinoamericana y el arte brasileño. La misma temática había sido abordada por Nuno Ramos en 1992 (año de los asesinatos en la institución carcelaria) en 111, una impactante ambientación conformada por piedras, bombitas de luz y alquitrán como elementos básicos. A partir del libro Estação Carandiru de Drauzio Varella, el director Héctor Babenco filma Carandiru (2003) donde retrata la matanza ejecutada por la policía militar. Este trabajo propone la revisión de aspectos visuales vinculados a los archivos y a la memoria a partir de determinados imaginarios culturales que abarcan instalaciones, objetos y filmaciones, donde la masacre es representada desde diferentes modalidades estéticas, políticas y poéticas.
