RIO DE JANEIRO: Two brothers in Rio are living over the edge — literally: sleeping, working and eating on the side of a building 33 feet (10 meters) up in the air. Twenty-seven-year-old Tiago Primo and his 20-year-old brother Gabriel spend 12 hours a day in the bed, hammock, chair and dining table they've attached to a bright red-and-yellow wall as part of an art exhibit in Rio's old center.

Two brothers in Rio de Janeiro are giving a new meaning to hanging out eating, reading and sleeping as they hang from the side of a building in a bustling part of the Brazilian city, to the bemusement of passers-by. Using climbing gear to manouver between a bed, a desk, a hammock and a gramaphone all nailed into the wall, Tiago and Gabriel Primo have been spending up to 14 hours a day in their "house" on the side of an art gallery since May.

The brothers are equipped with mountain climbing gear, and if nature calls, can scramble over to the verandah of a neighboring art gallery, where an indoor bathroom awaits.

The brothers have been hanging out wall-side since the end of May. They plan to continue the display until Aug. 20.
