In 2005 Jean-Yves Gargadennec learned that Carabanchel, the infamous Francoist prison in Madrid, was going to be razed to make room for a shopping centre. He set out to record its memory, and from then on began a long stretch of work on resistance to Francoism, building a gallery of portraits of surviving resistance fighters who had been held there. He then decided to record the places of repression throughout the Iberian peninsula, revealing many forgotten sites of massacres and mass graves.
