Lucharemos Hasta Anular la Ley plays with the voyeurism of those who look through the keyhole of the media in a historically significant situation of upheaval or disquiet. Diaz Morales uses fragments of a spontaneous video documentary of the storming of parliament in Buenos Aires and (re)animates it to a filmic collage in a black-and-white animation-film aesthetic. Influenced by the collapse of Argentina’s economy in 2001, he does not develop an archivist view of the past. At no point does the film reveal who the subject or the object of history is here and, nonetheless, the schematic happenings awaken vague memories of forms of political protest and collective organization.
