Abstract

Veterans, Campo Minado/Minefield and Teatro de Guerra take two post-war experiences of repetition as the axis of their approach to the Malvinas War: the first involves the irruption, in the present, of images or scenes that return to the memory of veterans, the second presents itself as a threat of crystallization of memory in stories set over the decades experimenting with the specific powers of visualization and narration of three artistic practices – video installation, theater, cinema – these documentary projects by Lola Arias put repetition at the center of their composition. This article studies three procedures that make it a scenic and narrative resource: first, iterative narration and the use of reenactment; secondly, the double motif; finally, the miniaturization operated by the manipulation of models and objects of reduced size, present in the three realizations.
