The first image of mars

On July 20th 1976, the United States reached Mars and transmitted live the arrival of the first image of the red planet. That same night, the “Ledesma blackout” took place in the province of Jujuy during the last Argentine military dictatorship. In 2023, the first live streaming on Mars took place while the police in Jujuy repressed the communities of the region. Coincidences, events, metaphors. The history of the image, the history of space: what appears and what disappears.
