Burn
Catalan Nationalist Riots, Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona, October 2019.
More than 1000 recycling buns have been torched in Barcelona, along with almost anything else flammable and not nailed down. This was triggered by the sentencing of a number of nationalist regional political figures for sedition and misuse of public funds in connection to the illegal 2017 independence referendum. The cost to the city is expected to be millions of euros, even before the impact on tourism of images such as these is felt.
These photographs are a continuation of the State of Independence project, for which I was awarded an ARPS distinction in October 2018. It is a project that I had hoped would not need any continuation.
