Memory is an exercise of reconstructing the past in the present moment, photography is a means to do so, to remember. Each portrait of a victim of reprisal is protected by the family as a treasure, every place that, owing to what took place there, has its own unique power, and every pained face of the son\/daughter\/sister\/brother for having lost their loved one, come together to remember. This project was carried out throughout 2021 and the beginning of 2022, in the province of Huelva, and aims to bring visibility to the places and the victims, as well as to their close relatives who were victims of reprisal, sharing one unique visual space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of Huelva offered little to no resistance to the revolt, and the villages where it was present, were quickly obliterated (August 1936). To date, there are 126 found or identified (mass) graves, which makes Huelva one of the Andalusian provinces with such sinister figures, second only to Seville. It also holds the second place in the number of victims (10,199), behind Granada. The cemetery of the mining village Nerva has the largest rural mass grave in Spain and it is estimated that therein lay the remains of up to 800 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The moment of Truth, Justice, and Reparation has come, the moment where oblivion has no place. This documentary project is part of the exhibition Donde no habite el olvido, organised by the Comisionado de la Memoria Democr\u00e1tica de la Diputaci\u00f3n de Huelva (Council of Huelva Commission of the Democratic Memory).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
