| Summary: | In the context of Latin American cultural traditions –tensioned by emancipatory political dreams, brutal dictatorships and accelerated modernizations– certain contemporary visual productions from Argentina and Chile revisit those dreams and nightmares, trying to notice their intersections with the fine matter of the living, with the practices of the archive as a point of union between a shared memory about the recent past and the technical images that make it possible. I propose to analyze these visual objects, which combine, in a technical and imaginary assembly, organic and inorganic elements, affects, imprints and gestures through a new synthesis of their own materials articulating alternative temporalities building new historical paths and forms of memory on the past.
