Sumario:What happens when a monument is moved? This article investigates the controversies about the location of the sculpture Beijo Eterno, by William Zadig. Created on demand by the Liga Nacionalista de São Paulo as a tribute to Olavo Bilac, this sculpture was part of a monument inspired by his poetry. However, between 1922 and 1966, the sculptures of the Monument to Olavo Bilac were repositioned in the city: the Beijo Eterno was placed on Av. Paulista, in the neighborhoods of Cambuci and Pinheiros, on Av. Nove de Julho and in public warehouses until it was finally installed in the Largo de São Francisco. The discomfort involved political, moral and religious elements, making it subject to analysis by Foucault’s notion of heterotopia.
