Black holes and forensic landscapes

Venue: Rankfoyer - The disappearance of people produces ghosts — and black holes in our imagination. Latin America is also talking about disappearances, a terrorist technique in military dictatorships and counterinsurgency that continues into the present day.

How do you approach these holes, of which there are no images or only empty images — which languages can we find for them?

Anne Huffschmid talks about her film research in the violent landscapes of Mexico, about forensic anthropology as crossing borders and search maneuvers as resistance — and about attempts to make it narrative.
