On July 20, 1976, the first image of Mars reached Earth. That same night, in Jujuy, the lights of the Ledesma sugar mill went out completely: 400 people were kidnapped by the military with the support of the company. In June 2023, almost 47 years after the “Ledesma Blackout”, the first streaming from Mars takes place, while the people of Jujuy confront the government in the streets. The history of the image, the history of space. Images that arrive, images that leave.
