Performance involving dragging shoes made of colored plaster attached to the artist's legs with steel cables, carried out in the Setor Comercial Sul area of Brasília, Brazil. This location, with a high flow of people during business hours, various types of flooring, and passage routes, was chosen as an experimental space for a crossing-writing. Copies of an old sneaker, made with colored plaster, serve as tools for writing-actions performed in urban performances, such as in the work "Descalçar" (Unshoeing). The city is marked by drawings, colored traces delineating a path as the shoe wears down and carries with it incisions, stones, and leaves. It leaves traces and carries the memories of the journey.
