Highly political and polarizing, Santiago Sierra's work Presos Políticos en la España contemporánea consists of 24 censored portraits representing 74 people who have been imprisoned for their ideology by the Spanish State in recent years. Each portrait is accompanied by a caption describing the person's controversial imprisonment. Not so ironically, the piece was censored during its presentation in Arco, Spain's most relevant art fair.
