Based on two original postage stamps, Carrasco retrieves a subtle narrative built upon iconoclastic strategies capable of explaining the political convulsion of the last century in Spain. A postage stamp of Alfonso XIII that was reused during the Republic Government by crossing his effigy, and a stamp issued by the II Republic that was restamped later on by the Franco regime in 1941 with the incorporation of the new national emblem, including Saint John´s eagle. The work intends to scrutinize the visual technologies and strategies of legitimization (and otherwise) utilized by the established authorities in each historical process and how they face the need of suppressing any remaining trace of what used to be. These strategies are particularly interesting in interwar times such as this one because, given the economic circumstances left by the conflict, the reutilization of printed material was practically essential.
