Overview

My relationship with the investigation process is intense as all I have in the beginning is a clue. I need to be immersed in the subject that interests me in order to find a map that can lead me to a formal synthesis. In the artworks, this is added to technical reinterpretation. The medium is also part of the investigation as it leads to the aesthetic tools that will be used to build an image.

– Leticia Ramos

Letícia Ramos explores the limits of the production and exegesis of analog images through photographic and film works, which she also develops into installations, objects, publications, and performances. Her practice is directed towards the aesthetic intersections between the documental and the fictional, occurring between natural and imaginary landscapes, between the discourses of historical records and those of invented characters, whilst simultaneously exploring the relationship between graphical 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 in order to guide us along ambiguous and atemporal objects and themes. In this sense, she builds inventive photographic apparatuses - such as cameras, models, and sets - in order to think about the use of these devices as elements of speculation, representation, and production of geographic and poetic terrains.
