Abstract

The article analyzes dimensions of the video Zero Latitude, the work of South African artist Bianca Baldi. Based on a cartographic and essay-inspired approach, the text follows some clues released by the artist and creates a path through the tangle of issues triggered by the work, ranging from the constitution of number zero, to geographic coordinates, to historical narratives and construction of modern rationality and its connections with colonization processes in the Congo River basin in Africa. Thus, this artistic production mobilizes criticism and tensions dissident components against official historiographies.
