Leo Correa's photograph of the meteorite Bendegó (the largest meteorite found on Brazilian soil) after the devastating fire at the National Museum of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, 3 September 2018. Of the institution's more than 20 million artifacts, the museum's meteorites were some of the few objects that survived the flames.

The curators' question, a.o.:"In what way does such a fire mobilize our unconscious? How does it shape our imagined futures? The blaze ravaged not only the historical building, but more devastatingly a still unknown yet significant amount of the 20 million objects held within it. The widespread destruction waged irreversible damage to the museum’s documentary collections, including ethnological artifacts of the original inhabitants of the region, and recordings of languages no longer spoken."

Overlapping the photo as a commentary, the exhibition shows a b/w photograph from Flavio de Carvalho / Raymond Frajmund (see the detail):
