Primera Lección (First Lession) is the second part of Guillermo Cifuentes’ video trilogy Lecciones nocturnas (Night Lessons). Each segment elaborates on media footage of public acts of political violence during the Chilean military dictatorship, seeking to reconsider the material not in documentary terms, not as an index of specific events, but as subjectivized components of personal and collective imaginaries. Primera Lección examines the interrogation of 26 year old student Karin Eitel in December 1987, broadcasted on national television, after she had been imprisoned and tortured by the Chilean secret service.
