Forensic Landscapes
a webdocumentary by Anne Huffschmid and Pablo Martínez-Zárate
Come and explore this territory – it’s imaginary, but that doesn’t make it any less real. Traverse the limbo left by the disappeared and the landscapes shaped by the living – the families and forensic experts – who search in a decision to defy and resist the black hole of disappearance. As you pass through different spaces, territories, and periods in Latin America, take your time, look for signs.
Everything will speak to you: objects, details, even what’s most unexpected. Your gaze will make the difference as it transforms the landscape. You’ll watch videos, read textual fragments, tour animated landscapes, and get to know the main characters.
