One day, I found a box in the trash with super 8 cartridges and a book entitled “Catalog”. The images could be from a cameraman of the past or the future. What would happen if someone found my life in a SD card in a pawnshop? What would my catalog of images contain? Cities, nature and a diary of a digital memory.

The New Ruins poster
NR

An amateur archaeologist obsessed with e-waste records images and sounds over ten years. His research takes the form of a personal, playful and musical diary, crossing borders and archives. One day, he arrives at an electronic recycling workshop where the ghost of a working poet manifests itself. The search takes an unexpected turn and he sets out, in the company of his cat Pendrive, to explore the links between technology and memory. In times of environmental crisis, overproduction and acceleration of consumption, he wonders: how will history be written in the future?

What is it like to produce images in 2020 while blind? Zezé Fassmor is a Peruvian multidisciplinary artist living in Buenos Aires: "I do everything but see", says his biography on the social networks he uses. He lost his sight at the age of 25 and today, at 32 and with the idea of seeing again, he films and takes photos, creating his own archive to see those images in the future. We travelled to the Iguazú Falls, exploring the geography of the senses to film another scene from his imagination. What is an image? What we see or what we have in our mind?
