Summary:

Through large-scale color photography of high dramatism, the artist brings his series of "Batallas" (Battles) to life, where he recreates milestones in the history of Argentine Independence. In a titanic task, Lauda mobilizes the current Argentine army to special locations to achieve the ideal shot: movement, light and atmosphere play a key role in each work. The images take up characteristics of European painting with historical accents: the romantic spirit and the power of glory are present. Lauda manages to separate himself from the historical military question and highlight the effort, the work, the camaraderie. The expressions in the most dramatic shots is like hearing screams and gallops, as well as perceiving moments of calm in the immensity. The Crossing of the Andes (Spanish: Cruce de los Andes) in the Andean Mountain Range and the Pampa plains, as well as the presence of the horse, a recurring element in Gonzalo's work, are as much protagonists as the soldiers in combat.
