Summary:

"This book is about images like this, about heterogeneous photographic artifacts that merge and "burn with reality". The sharing of these works produced in recent years, mainly in Argentina, does not intend to set up a historical course but to point out towards a historicized, transversal, multiple photograph, inclined to the political and crossed by discontinuities and differences. The unique displays of these images, their details and visual strategies, allow us to look at the relationships of photography with the world, recent history, politics, violence. Surrounding images with words not to explain them: to join with them to the precise inquiry of the time that they propose. To point us to a possible path - in that way so improbable in which the images indicate - and to follow that path. Thinking about the visual poetics of each series, interspersing them and putting in relation their historical dimension, their material imprint, the craftsmanship or sophisticated of their artifacts. It is precisely as artifacts - that is, constructed objects - that these works visually question the idea of photographic record, while not fail to underscore their critical adherence to the world they are approaching and their potential to deploy a present intervention."
