The prospections for the þit is a series of photopaintings made to imagine its possible outcomes and developments, one year before we entered the space. 

The photographs of the 1200m2 lot we would temporaritly turn into the þit were painted over with these possibilities: If animals return, If sponteneous Reforestation takes place, If the Oer-Erkenschwick community wants vegetables, If we join the cryptocurrency networth, If you feel the weight/you will never be late/to understand, When the giant awakens.

Later, we also made prospections to imagine and propose the installation of the þit in the city of Rio de Janeiro. 

These photographs depict empty buildings and spaces in the center of Rio de Janeiro at that time. Even though the þit was never installed in the city, the paintings imagine these possible outcomes: If the soil is cultivated...as a vegetable garden by the neighborhood dwellers; When a ruin that is well-preserved, speculated, and underused...becomes a portal to an area of communal production; When the doors are opened for the co-living of the surrounding inhabitants; When a crypto-communal fund supports the block.
