Letícia Ramos’s artistic research focuses on creating photographic apparatus adequate for capturing and reconstructing movement and presenting it through video, photography and installation. With a particular interest in the science of fiction, she developed complex geographical novels in some of her series, such as ERBF, Bitácora and Vostok. Chance, as well as experimentation with photography and the artistic process, are directions which can be seen in her work.

In 2014, she was awarded the Moreira Salles Institute Photography Grant, and used it to develop a research called “MICROFILM”, which ended up winning the BES Photo international award. She received the Video Art Prize, given by the Joaquim Nabuco Foundation, for the development of a new project called GRÃO [GRAIN].
