The Remaining

The Remaining is a project concerning the Argentinean present through a metaphor of the past. It is about what remains from the last military regime in the country (1976 - 1983). Specifically, it documents the Clandestine Centres of Detention, Torture and Extermination - the places where those who did not support the junta were taken after being abducted. The photographs of these sites represent the physical scar left by the regime, the empty space left on the society by the 30,000 missing people. The survivors’ portraits show how the junta did not achieve its goal: the deletion of a generation’s ideals. They show how today’s Argentina does not want to forget its history. The Remaining intends to show how the scar left by the military regime is painful, but not crippling.
