Identidades punibles
2021
The desire to visit the Archive Vagos y Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social of the Arxiu de Justícia de Catalunya was born in 2018, when reading in the Periódico de Catalunya that Justice would allow consulting the files to doctors for academic research and/or entities related to the Law.
Using his title as Doctor in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, the artist Daniel Gasol informs the people in charge of the Arxiu that he will write an academic essay in the University context on the Law, accessing it regularly for approximately three years.
