CONCEPT This work arises from events that occurred during the Franco regime in which a large number of citizens were prosecuted for belonging to clandestine political groups that today democratically govern our country. When these trials occurred, large summaries were created while the press, akin to the Franco regime, charged the accused in such a way that they decisively influenced the course of the trial. After time, people remained in jail and the Media forgot about them.

This is one of the first conceptual works made by the author in 1974. It arises from concrete situations experienced by the author during the Franco regime and reflected in the daily press.

DESCRIPTION The six framed drawings are hung directly on the wall in a continuous line.
HISTORY This is one of the first conceptual works produced by the author in 1974.
