Un detall de la 4ª Galeria de la Model, per a presos reincidents.
La presó model s’inaugurà el 1904 i va tancar el 2017. Prácticament d’inici ja va perdre aquesta caracteristica de model amb el que fou disenyada (primer motí ja al 1906), i la sobrepoblació de presoners fou constant, així com unes condicions generalment deplorables. Disenyada per a 1000 presos, al 1940 arribà als 13.000! No només és un punt historic per la historia criminal de Catalunya, sino també com a element esencial en la represió política, molt en especialment per part del regim feixista. Nombroses persones foren executades o partiren cap a la seva execució des de la Model (unes 1600). El més famós executat de tots, el darrer, Salvador Puig Antich.
Ara s’ha obert al public i es pot visitar lliurement. Cal aprofitar-ho ja que es preveu que aviat es començaran a tirar a terra el mur perimetral i bona part dels edificis secundaris. La part central, el panoptic i la majoria de galeries es conservaran, però perdran la pàtina original (ronya, de fet), i fotogràficament no serà el mateix.

This is the 4th Gallery of La Model prison, for recividating inmates and others difficult to adapt.
La Model entered service in 1904 and was closed in 2017, after decades of public demands of closure due to the deplorable condition of the inmates and the bad image for the surroundings. As the name suggests, it was intented to be a modelic prison, but although it was a modern design in early XX Century, soon the conditions deteriorated, and the first mutiny was just in 1906. Designed for 1000 inmates, in 1940 it reached a peak of 13.000 inmates, mostly political prisoners of the fascist Franco regime. Hundres left this place in their way to their execution. The last political victim was Salvador Puig Antich, executed in La Model in 1974. In fact La Model is a very important place to understand the history of the political represion in Catalonia, specially by the fascist regime between 1939 and 1978 (and beyond). Also it reflected the criminal and social problems of Barcelona in the XX Century.
Now the former prison is open to the public, but soon will be partly demolished (the surrounding wall and secondary buildings) to made parks, and the main building redeveloped for civic activities and also a history museum. So the time to take pictures is now or never.

La iconica sala de visites penitenciaries (en aquest cas, de La Model) que tots hem vist en pel·licules i series on surten presons. Abans les reixes metal·liques permetien cert contacte, especialment rellevant per a parelles, pares i fills. Però ara tot s'ha blindat amb vidres gruixuts i interfons. Ho saben prou els presoners politics que formaren el gobern de la Generalitat fins el 2017!
La presó model s’inaugurà el 1904 i va tancar el 2017. Prácticament d’inici ja va perdre aquesta caracteristica de model amb el que fou disenyada (primer motí ja al 1906), i la sobrepoblació de presoners fou constant, així com unes condicions generalment deplorables.

All of us has see this kind of room in prisons in movies or series, the famous visitors room. Initially the barrier between inmates and visitors was a fence, so it was possible somehow to have phisical contact, specially valuable with the family. But afterwards all was caged in security glass & intercomes.

The Major of Barcelona, Ada Colau, reopened the former Model Prison (La Model) as a citizen, civic and cultural centre.
After the act, visitors have entered the prison to walk into the galleries and the courtyard.
El cor i nucli de La Model és el panoptic, element classic dins l'estructura carceraria típica de finals del s. XIX i principis del XX. La idea, com el seu nom intiga era poder controlar visualment tot allò que feien els presoners en tot moment, el que donà lloc a multitud de presons d'estructura radial amb una cupula central, com la Model i moltes altres arreu del món. Però de fet, des del panoptic de la gran majoria d'elles només es podia controlar poca cosa més que la sala central, on no hi havia cap cel·la. Per contra, un exemple realment de panoptic tal i com fou ideat es troba en una presó amb el mateix nom: el Presidio Modelo de Cuba, o la presó d'Arnhem.

The "panoptic" or panopticon is the center of the former La Model jail in Barcelona. This kind of radial prison was usual all arround the World in late XIX and early XX Century prisons. Yet most of them were not true panopticons, because, as the name implies, from the panopticon a guard could see all the prisoners and cells at the same time. And from here you could only see the centra distributor, were no cells were located. A real panopticon is the Presidio Modelo in Cuba, or the Koepelgevangenis in Arnhem:

Ara s’ha obert al public i es pot visitar lliurement. Cal aprofitar-ho ja que es preveu que aviat es començaran a tirar a terra el mur perimetral i bona part dels edificis secundaris. La part central, el panoptic i la majoria de galeries es conservaran, però perdran la pàtina original (ronya, de fet), i fotogràficament no serà el mateix.

Picture taken with a Leica M3, made in 1963; Elmar f2.8 / 50mm; Ilford HP5 developed in HC110.
La Model entered service in 1904 and was closed in 2017, after decades of public demands of closure due to the deplorable condition of the inmates and the bad image for the surroundings. As the name suggests, it was intented to be a modelic prison, but although it was a modern design in early XX Century, soon the conditions deteriorated, and the first mutiny was just in 1906. Designed for 1000 inmates, in 1940 it reached a peak of 13.000 inmates, mostly political prisoners of the fascist Franco regime. Hundres left this place in their way to their execution. The last political victim was Salvador Puig Antich, executed in La Model in 1974. In fact La Model is a very important place to understand the history of the political represion in Catalonia, specially by the fascist regime between 1939 and 1978 (and beyond). Also it reflected the criminal and social problems of Barcelona in the XX Century.
Now the former prison is open to the public, but soon will be partly demolished (the surrounding wall and secondary buildings) to made parks, and the main building redeveloped for civic activities and also a history museum. So the time to take pictures is now or never.
Foto presa amb la meva Leica IIIb del 1938, amb objectiu sovietic Jupiter 11 i pel·licula Kodak Tri-X 400 ISO.
La presó model s’inaugurà el 1904 i va tancar el 2017. Prácticament d’inici ja va perdre aquesta caracteristica de model amb el que fou disenyada (primer motí ja al 1906), i la sobrepoblació de presoners fou constant, així com unes condicions generalment deplorables. Disenyada per a 1000 presos, al 1940 arribà als 13.000! No només és un punt historic per la historia criminal de Catalunya, sino també com a element esencial en la represió política, molt en especialment per part del regim feixista. Nombroses persones foren executades o partiren cap a la seva execució des de la Model (unes 1600). El més famós executat de tots, el darrer, Salvador Puig Antich.

Tot el corredor d'entrada (i sortida) de la Model vist des de quasi el pati d'entrada fins, allà al fons, el seu cor, el panoptic.

This long corridor shows all the way from almost the entrance yard of the La Model prison to it's very center, the panopticon.

The entrance to the prison la Modelo in Barcelona. This penitentiary was open in 1904 as an exemplary center. It was designed by Salvador Vinyals Sabaté i Josep Domènech Estapà according the ideas of the philosopher and jurist Jeremy Bentham. It was finally closed in June 2017.
Here's a saucy favorite from my first shoot with the truly singular Carlotta Champagne back in 16 September 2017. It was my second glamour shoot ever and I was hooked. I’d always loved glamour and pin up art and this shot, which I’m actually surprised I hadn’t posted online yet, provided proof I could make this kind of art.
I’m taking a break from studio photography due to the pandemic. Hopefully, things will stabilize and we’ll be able to make collaborative art like this once more. I’ll still post, since I have lots of content, but i’m putting my creative energies into my music for the time being.
Shot on 35mm film with a 34 year old Minolta body and 40 year old Minolta glass.
Camera: Minolta X-570

Exposture: f/4, 1/60, studio flash, overexposed by 1 stop to reduce contrast and saturation
