El presente trabajo busca aprehender cómo la resignificación de estas imágenes mira al pasado autoritario para reconstruir la verdad y la memoria sobre la violencia dictatorial. Con tal fin, este texto lanza reflexiones sobre la noción de paisaje, incluso con respecto a su constitución histórica. Luego, analiza cómo el artista la subvierte en sus predicados imaginados al inscribir los crímenes en el espacio, visibilizando/recordando los horrores de la dictadura en un mecanismo de resistencia dirigido a las víctimas, perpetuadas en los vacíos impuestos al paisaje.  Este artigo investiga a obra Postcards from Brazil, realizada em 2016 por Gilvan Barreto, na qual fotografias de paisagens difundidas durante a ditadura civil-militar brasileira são transformadas em cartões-postais que, retalhados, passam a referenciar assassinatos ocorridos nos locais retratados. Busca-se, aqui, apreender de que forma a ressignificação dessas imagens visa o passado autoritário sob a ótica da reconstrução da verdade e da memória sobre a violência ditatorial. O artigo reflete sobre a noção de paisagem, inclusive no que diz respeito à sua constituição histórica. Em seguida, analisa como o artista a subverte em seus predicados imaginados na medida em que inscreve os crimes no espaço, dando visibilidade aos horrores da ditadura, em um mecanismo de resistência voltado para as vítimas, então eternizadas nos vazios impostos à paisagem.Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2022-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/article/view/2101110.5965/2175234614332022421Palíndromo; Vol. 14 No. 33 (2022): A questão do detalhe na história da arte; 421-447Palíndromo; v. 14 n. 33 (2022): A questão do detalhe na história da arte; 421-4472175-23461984-9532reponame:Palíndromo (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCporhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/article/view/21011/14369Copyright (c) 2022 Ana Carolina Lima Santos, Isabela de Souza Vilelahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Ana Carolina Lima Vilela, Isabela de Souza2022-05-01T19:38:04Zoai:ojs.revistas.udesc.br:article/21011Revistahttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromoPUBhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/oaipalindromorevista@gmail.com || revistapalindromo@udesc.br2175-23461984-9532opendoar:2022-05-01T19:38:04Palíndromo (Online) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false
