Amazing review by Apollo: The International Art Magazine​ of my solo show Memoria Perdida within PHotoEspaña​ 2019: "But the show that most disturbingly and urgently embodies a feeling of déjà vu is Gonzalez’s project documenting Spain’s fosas comunes – unmarked mass graves where more than 100,000 citizens were killed and discarded during the Civil War – in excruciating detail. Every stone, leaf, and blade of grass in these abandoned fields, gulches, and walls is accounted for, as if offering evidence of what transpired there...

The castle, a former prison and execution site during the Spanish Civil War and postwar, is an impressing location to show the work.

To this day the bodies of up to 114,000 ‘disappeared’ from the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship of Francisco Franco lie in unmarked mass graves in roadsides, on the edges of towns and villages, in ravines or in fields.

Territori clandestí - Memòria perduda a les fosses comunes. Durant la Guerra Civil 200.000 civils van ser assassinats. Que sapiguem, els cossos de 114.000 persones resten encara en fosses comunes. El fotògraf Miquel González ha fet una investigació i ha localitzat algunes d'aquestes fosses oblidades que encara no han estat excavades ni commemorades. Les ha fotografiat intentant ser el més fidel possible al moment en què es va produir l'assassinat, el mateix dia i hora. Amb això vol, a través de la imatge, intentar apropar-se a les sensacions de les víctimes i denunciar el poc reconeixement que han tingut.

“15 years after the approval of the Historical Memory Law, Spain is still plagued with unmarked mass graves and Francoist monuments. As conservatives vow to revoke it and socialists fail short in applying it, one has to ask: where’s the political will to undo the las 50 years of silence”.

How does our civilisation interact with nature? The impact of human interventions in so called natural areas is massive. Some of these interventions are due to exploitation, others try to take advantage of nature in order to fight the threat of climate change. This series tries to capture the delicate balance between the human made world and nature.
