From the perspective of classifying the pixação -a brazilian tag graffiti- as an environmental crime, the article contrasts this practice with the historical processes of exclusionary urbanization and attacks on the environment established in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It is shown, for example, that in spite of the fact that the city has rectified and ravaged its rivers and that almost a thousand people a year die in their transit along them, the pixação continues to be considered the city's main environmental problem. Thus, based on the discussions on biopower and necropolitics, the pixação is presented as a possibility of life experience that is shaped within the landscape of a city whose operation consists of segregating and deciding who can live and who must die or be brutalized
