Memorial Brumadinho
Atiaîa Lighting Design
Three spaces have been carved into the earth at the midpoint of the rift. To the left, Memory, where the families honour their loved ones. To the right, Testimonial, where the facts of the tragedy are displayed, and a sacred space that holds the victims’ recovered remains.

Fiber optic endlight terminals with lenses are integrated into the concrete for uplighting the waterfall and also integrated into the sculpture nose for highlighting the tears. The water streams are illuminated with a sidelight hose type fiber optic.

From the sculpture's geometric eyes, tears flow continually., forming a veil over the concrete walls. The water, a symbol of memory and purification, runs through the space in two streams until it reaches the reflecting pool under the observation deck, where mourning meets contemplation.

At the project's midway point, a squared sculpture rises like a head suspended over the path, representing humanity in its failure. The map of Córrego do Feijão is printed on its surface. It looks at the site of collapse, where two victims have not yet to been found.

At the viewpoint, the valley landscape unfolds a surface that has been hit and stained by mud. The lake reflects the sky during the day, and at night it pays a final tribute to the victims, since the mining landscape cannot be the only one still shining on the horizon.

At the bottom of the lake, 272 fiber optic terminals were installed, programmed to oscillate to create a starry sky effect. A map of the celestial sphere at 12:01 AM on January 25, 2019, the date of the dam burst, is projected onto the lakebed. Light is presence, it is life.
