Abstract

This article examines the images from the Trial to the Military Juntas documentary found in the photographic library of the Argentine Photojournalists Association (ARGRA , acronym in Spanish). It consists of a set of photographs taken during the public audience held between April and August 1985 at the National Courthouse in Buenos Aires. The photograph of a witness in the middle of the empty room introduces a counterpoint in the archive, arising from the judges’ wage-related claims, and opening a low visibility zone which accounts for possible disputes in the construction of facts and its relationship with the actual events. Such disruption reveals a judicial power interrupting the transcendence of a prosecution to take care of itself.
