It's so beautiful. It's me, it's me.

- This is Fabio. - Hi Fabio, how are you?

It's quite a perfume!

I just wanted to have things.

and that's why I am talking to you today.

I stink now, but when I get home I'll take a shower, and it'll be fine.

I eat what I find around here.

I run out of here screaming.

My experience with mixing art...

and 100% of the closest suburbs.

We created the association.

One of my jobs was to clean up...

That's equivalent to the garbage produced by a city of 400,000 people.

PVC is what I will use the most.

I hope you understand me because I don't have...

and that single one will make the difference.

I told Fabio: Just let me stay. Even if I only get US$150 a month.

Once I was driving in Sao Paulo...

We supposedly worked together, but my share was always less.

Up until now, I've been responsible for bringing books to the association.

we built a recycling center without a single cent from the city.

They're talking about you here.

When I moved here it was dirt, there were no paved roads, nothing.

We are not pickers of garbage, we are pickers of recyclable materials.

Don't put this on TV, I'd die.

I started drinking moonshine all the time.

That's what this job brought to me.

When I came back to New York I started drawing their faces with sugar...

I'm the Brazilian artist who is the most - I hate to say this...

What's going on?

I don't want to go back to Gramacho.

He was throwing up little pieces of his lungs.

I would spend the whole day...

and soft drink bottles...

If it weren't for my friends here...

I find it to be more interesting and more honest.

- Hi. - How are you?

with the garbage from the poorest favela?

Except when you look from very far away.

you could collect things like that for me.

This used to be a very rough neighborhood.

And you? Are you OK?

You look like you're getting married.

No, because it would be much harder to think we are not able...

But it doesn't work like that.

Who told you that, Vik?

what you call...

I don't forget the tiniest details.

you can do this, you could do that...

There are so many children.

And you won't get back together?
