How could we approach an archive image without disfiguring it? How could we repurpose it in new films, respecting its opacity and ambiguity? This paper investigates the recurrence of the archives in a certain contemporary documentary practice and the way how some montage choices end up violating them, thus compromising new understandings of the past crystallized in them. As Didi-Huberman suggests, once that the events and temporalities registered in the images will never emerge in full, their repurpose by new directors should be combined with a work of historical imagination, so that they can perceive what remains latent in them.
