"YOUR FATHER WAZ HERE MOTHA' FUCKERS”

Photos of an abandoned jailhouse.

“One of the rites of man when arriving to a new site, when occupying a place -whether as a house or as a work space- is to erect an altar.

We fill the walls and furniture with objects that speak of who we are and why.

They not only serve to remember what is absent, but to confirm our identity.

The images shown in this series, are the evidence left behind by the inhabitants of an abandoned prison, both inmates and guards.”
