Presas 1976–1978 — Pilar Aymerich, Ediciones Ojo de Buey, 2023 (2nd edition)

A rare inside view of a prison in transition, where control briefly shifted to those confined within it. Shot during the final years of Spain’s democratic transition, these images document a moment of collective self-management inside Barcelona’s women’s prison after the abrupt departure of its religious authorities. Aymerich captures both tension and solidarity with direct clarity. Unpublished in full until now, this work stands as a key visual record of feminist struggle and institutional rupture in post-Franco Spain.
