“Ramos draws on darkroom and cameraless resources to stage an encounter between technical apparatuses and contingency, producing images that operate between spectral presence and material inscription. Luminous compositions negotiate tensions between visibility and darkness, functioning as schemas that challenge representational paradigms and reflecting the artist’s concern with the still underexplored possibilities at the intersection of art and science. Her practice unfolds through longterm projects that share a strong affinity with experimental filmmaking – in the use of material substrate, optical qualities, and an attention to duration, staging, and the sequencing of events. These investigations, articulated as interconnected series, are the outcome of meticulous experimentation and ongoing research conducted in her São Paulo studio.” (Excerpt from Silver, exhibition Mendes Wood DM, SP, 2025). White Noise is a series generated by the mathematical trajectory of a gravity driven light pendulum. To generate them, Ramos performs a sort of photographic hypnosis, in which the slightest detour or calculation mistake can ruin everything, a distracted gaze is not able to capture the nuance or comprehend the complexity of these events – or, better still, phenomena – which occur on emulsified paper.
