The creation process has two main lines, with development of objects and writing/image documentation. These narratives are divided into fiction and non-fiction, in which there are concomitant points of interlacing/visibility in the process of execution and presentation. The construction of optical devices and re-creation of photographic writings and records are intercalated actions that put in danger their positions as documents that prove their legitimacy within a constructed reality.

The research reports the trajectory of an inventor, identified only by the initials T. H., who created a device capable of identifying large geographic areas susceptible to huge oscillations and sudden modifications in its original geological formation. Parts of the inventor’s biography, as well as the operation and manipulation of this technological apparatus, are still unknown to the scientific community (causing the incrediblity of most members of its activity area), either by the complete or partial absence of documents that report passages of his life or even notes that demonstrate the construction and effectiveness of the device. Reduced to a few photographic records (of unknown authorship) and incomplete or illegible documents, the apparatus is not reconstructed again in order to attest the effectiveness or functionality of the equipment in question, but to rescue and understand the concerns of a forgotten inventor in recent history and the development of a technological device that could significantly alter the direction of society as we know it.
By looking more closely at such documentation, it is possible to note certain deviations in his thinking that go beyond a scientific objectivity that aims at conclusive results. The unpredictability in the intentions of T.H. walks in parallel with the uncertainties of mass slides in seemingly unstable landscapes.
