Vik Muniz says Olympics will be 'damn jealous' of Paralympic ceremony

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz joins guest host Jelena Adzic to discuss how the Olympics can help uplift his country at a time of social and political unrest, and why he thinks the main tournament will be "damn jealous" of the opening ceremonies for the Paralympic Games. 

"It's a different show altogether," says Muniz, who helped design the latter. Although his ceremonies were built on a tighter budget, he thinks its underlying theme will resonate widely. 

"We're not perfect. None of us are."

WEB EXTRA | You might remember Muniz's sprawling landfill art projects, as featured in the documentary Waste Land. The artist collaborated with a group of landfill scavengers to make inventive, humanizing portraits — turning people from the margins of society into works of art.
