In the first section, it is presented a brief journey from photography as a “mirror with memory” to photography as art. The second section reviews the political power of the image during the post-dictatorship. The third section makes a brief analysis of photography as artistic creation and memory builder, as well as its political function, through Gustavo Germano’s photographic essay Ausencias (Absences).
