Living in a Vertical Room

Living high on outside wall


Two Brazilian artists are living in a room with a bed, hammock, sofa and potted plant - all on the outside wall of a building in Rio de Janeiro.

Tiago Primo, 27, and his brother Gabriel, 20, are spending up to 14 hours a day in their "vertical room", 10m (33ft) above a busy street.

They are a living art exhibit, on display until mid-August.

They use climbing gear to manoeuvre up and down their room, much to the amusement of passers-by.

The two brothers have been living on the bright red-and-yellow wall since May, snoozing, reading, eating lunch and chatting with people in the street below.
