Introduction by José-Manuel Gonçalvès
Foreword by Mathieu Pernot
In April 2015, as the last prisoners were being transferred, Pernot visited the historic La Santé prison in Paris several times. He photographed the entire building and went through all the empty cells to make an inventory of the graffiti and images still on the walls. These traces convey the presence of their authors and reveal the intimate lives of those who were held there.
