To document the construction of the Instituto Moreira Salles<\/a>\u2019 new museum in Avenida Paulista, IMS invited the German artist Michael Wesely to create the Open Shutter<\/em> project.<\/p>\n

With pictures taken using cameras he made himself, this technique consists of leaving the lens shutter open for long periods of time, exposing the same negative to create a single image. Wesely came to Brazil to install four analogical and two digital cameras on the fa\u00e7ades of the buildings surrounding the plot of land where the future IMS is being built on, and which will be constantly taking pictures of the area under development until the building\u2019s\u00a0 expected completion \u00a0date in 2017.<\/p>\n
