About

Vincent Ceraudo and Benjamin Ramirez-Perez video 16 mm film, videos 4K and CGI 16 min 23 sec 2020/2021 Sun Surface combines documentary material with a staged science fiction narrative set in Ordos, a city in the Inner Mongolia part of China. Taking this specifically as a starting point while also considering China’s rapid global as- cent as an overarching context, the film interrogates questions of growth, energy, economics and fictions of tech- no-scientific progress as well as its aesthetic and socio-political dimensions in the time of the climate crisis. The film follows a small team of scientists that is sent to map out the area and its surroundings. Through an open-ended discussion about what is happening to time and space, they try to understand a strange scortching phenomenon coming from the surface of the sun.
