Jump to

Cristina Garcia Rodero’s project, España Oculta (Hidden Spain), began just as Francisco Franco died, marking the end of his 39 year dictatorship. Rodero spent the next 15 years documenting Spain’s religious traditions and rituals, a part of the country’s history which she knew had been inherited from Franco. She was therefore working against the tide of change, and captured something many wanted to forget: “What we were doing, this sort of reportage work, was utterly disregarded at that time because it wasn’t modern.”
