During an electromagnetic storm caused by a solar collapse, the sky changes, the city energy switches on and off, telematic communication is interrupted, and wifi waves disappear. During this blackout, a massive sphere appears inside a hole in the ground of an ancient building,
In archaeology, a Witness Block is the designation of a significant part of an archaeological site for future assessments, preservation, and more in-depth research when technology allows. In the film, the witness block is a phantom of the future that travels through time.

Leticia Ramos
Letícia Ramos (b. 1976, Santo Antônio da Patrulha, Brazil), lives and works in São Paulo.
Leticia Ramos explores the limits of the production and exegesis of analogue images through photographic and film works, which she also develops into installations, objects, publications, and performances. Her practice is directed towards the aesthetic intersections of the documentary and the fictional, occurring at the interfaces between natural and imaginary landscapes and between the discourses of historical records and those of invented characters, whilst simultaneously exploring the relationship between visual memory and the nature of the abstract and spectral.
Using rigorous technical and formal procedures as a point of departure, the artist emulates aspects of scientific expeditions that guide us along ambiguous and atemporal objects and themes. In this sense, she builds inventive photographic apparatuses – such as cameras, models, and staged sets – in order to reflect on the use of these devices as elements of speculation, representation, and the production of geographic and poetic terrains.
Some of the artist’s solo exhibitions include: Noise, Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo (2022); Resilience and Reverberation, Mendes Wood DM, New York (2019); História Universal dos Terremotos, Pivô, São Paulo (2018); HISTÓRIA UNIVERSAL DOS TERREMOTOS, Fundación Botín, Santander (2017); Planisphere, Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo (2017).
