The present work focuses on the analysis of a selection of photographs of the interns of the Penitentiary Unit No. 5 of Mercedes, which were taken in 1881 in the Pozzo-Bradley photographers’ workshop and are set in the context to which they are subordinated, which is the archive of the Buenos Aires prison service. Our object is to focus on the bond that is established between photography and the archive, which is part of a discursive system where image takes documental and historical value.References
