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?
The first films of Patagonia - where I grew up - show a territory that no longer exists, as the araucarias, millenary trees from the Patagonian forests, were in part replaced by more productive pines. Near my new home, in Belgium, I find araucarias that adorn front gardens. We hear some girls playing in the car, pointing out araucarias on the road. How did these plants become a petty-bourgeois fashion in northern Europe? I confront these archives with contemporary technoscientific images, used by a lab to explore plant modifications. What can these modes of representation tell us about our time?

I travel around Sweden listening to the tapes recorded by my parents 40 years ago, when they fled the Argentine dictatorship. Has the revolutionary fire that animated them been extinguished in Swedish comfort? I chat with my father, looking for ghostly images, created from family memories. There are traces that give us a glimpse of another possible world."
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?
