This dissertation walks through the exhibition Critical Zones: observatory for land politics, curated by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel (2020), which addresses the opposition between the ideas of Globe and Critical Zone -pointing to distinct forms of belonging and agency in the context of ecological collapse.Drawing on the exhibition and the images it mobilizes over six sections, I analyze how the incongruence between what Latour calls the territories we depend on and those in which we actually live exists not only as a symptom of disconnection, insensitivity, or indifference, as the author argues but also as a result of a deep psychic, affective, and desiring investment of modern subjects who mediate their relations with the world through the privileging of neglect and lack of care for the conditions that make their existence possible, minimizing insecurities and discomforts in the search for stability.I propose that this disconnection is a particular form of denial, which does not represent an inflection or a point outside the curve of the modern trajectory, but rather keeps us attached to the fantasy of this modernity as a horizon of possibilities.In this sense, I investigate the impediments to the grounding movement proposed by the exhibition and the lack of future prospects not as consequences of an imaginative incapacity or paralysis, but as an insistence on directing our desires and sensibilities toward supposedly easy "solutions" that actually make it impossible to mourn and detach from the bonds that bind us to an already crumbling world-whose appeal still seems irresistible.Staying with the denial, in the sense mobilized by Donna Haraway when she says that we should "stay with the problem," appears as a strategy to recognize the contradictions that cross the subjects, in order to no longer suppress them, but to understand how they have been politically mobilized as opportunities to corroborate fantasies of order and stability that continue, paradoxically, delaying the confrontation of ecological collapse
