Una natura intervinguda

Looped screening of a new audiovisual piece by Job Ramos, created as part of Carta Verda, an initiative by Sismògraf offering time, space and resources to a creator without deadlines, no set starting point or predefined journey.

Una natura intervinguda presents a prototype of an audiovisual herbarium – a counter-natural format that, instead of preserving vegetation through dried plants and paper, does so through movement and light. Treating the moving image as an animist practice, it alters our perception of the natural environment.
In the face of ecocide, society has come to accept that nature needs to be regulated. We are witnessing the shift from the ideal of a self-sustaining nature to a new nature that must be monitored – an intervened and modified nature. In 2025, Job Ramos will explore how to create art with other species, presenting the results of his research throughout the year. His research suggests that the convergence of artistic intervention and the natural environment gives rise to hybrid ecosystems.

Job Ramos has worked in installation, film, sound and performance. His projects are often rooted in the tradition of site-specific art, where he explores the relationship between the natural and the artificial, aiming to create situations of unfamiliarity, free from the concept of utility. His practice engages with the concept of place, materiality and the relationships that shape them; through a form of ultra-local ethnography, he delves into spaces, alters their rhythms, upends power dynamics and conducts intense research processes that encourage repetition (an iteration that unfolds over time) to encounter the unexpected. His work has been presented internationally.
