This article proposes a general reading of post-dictatorship argentine photography (RES, F. Gutierrez, M. Brodsky, J. Pantoja, I. Ulanovsky, L. Quieto, G. Bettini, G. Germano) starting with the hypothesis that this iconographic corpus is fed by an archive of images from the past (family photos and other kinds of materials) and expressed through three paradigms of representation (object, remnant, absence).
