Faces, pictures from the ESMA was the title of the exhibition led by the Museum of Art and Memory (MAM ) of La Plata, in March 2007 This was an exhibition of photographs rescued by Victor Basterra from that clandestine detention center where he was for over four years, abducted and forced into slave labor during the last military dictatorship in Argentina. These images were shown for the first time in a memorial space and artistic exhibition at that time. This article will investigate how these images enter into an artistic space. We will reflect on the movement, editing and assembly operations to which these images were submitted by the MAM. This exhibition challenges us to wonder about tensions inherent in the photographic image; as they are between the loss and conservation; registration and recall, documentary and artistic; information and emotion, past and present.

Keywords : Argentina; Art; Clandestine detention center; Conservatorship; Dictatorship; Displacement; Document; Memory; Museum; Photography.
