Francesc Torres (b. Barcelona, 1948) is one of Spain’s most important conceptual artists and a pioneer of installation art. In this book, he documents through photos a group of Spaniards determined to rescue a part of their history which has been sequestered. His photographs capture an archaeological project to recover Spain’s national collective memory through the excavation of mass graves from the Spanish Civil War, a project by the Spanish Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory. His work questions social order and the relations between political and economic power. Examining the machinery of war and violence in culture and history, Torres assumes the role of philosophical historian, contemplating the tensions between the implacability of time, fragility of memory, and politically loaded spaces.
