Labour exploitation is the main theme of Arquitectura Española, 1939-1975 (2014-2018), a series of images outlined in white over black that shows plans of monumental buildings made in Spanish State during Franco’s dictatorship. These constructions, led by the Franco’s government to reconstruct the damages caused during the Civil War, used republican prisoners as workforce, the side of the vanquished, turned into slaves under forced labour sentences.
