Sumario:Portraits of identification (2014) offers, from its archivist and cinematographic montage, a new historical readability for the images made by the Brazilian military dictatorship. In case, the mugshots (the famous “prisoner photos”) and the images clandestinely captured by the military agents to accuse the then “enemies” of the regime. Displayed through time, transformed into archives, these images prove the deep violence and perversion perpetrated by the military organs from 1964. Thus, the article will probe the gesture of survival of the images-archive that, displayed through time, became historical inscriptions of the crimes committed by the Brazilian military regime.
