MÓN began with a question with no easy answer: what do we really see when we look at the world around us? And is it us, or has journalism become a little predictable? Different stories told the same way.

We work between Barcelona and Madrid. We care about three things, memory, territory, the environment, which is really one thing if you look at it from far enough. A wrecked landscape tends to be a story about who lived there. We feel like Oblivion has authors.

MÓN exists because we believe journalism should do more than inform…. Perhaps it makes you stop! Perhaps it should make you uncomfortable… Perhaps it should force you to look again.

Through archival research, contemporary photography, coding, and hybrid visual languages, we pursue stories that others overlook or choose to forget.

We develop long-term visual projects and seek support from foundations, institutions, media outlets, and NGOs that, like us, believe the stories worth telling are rarely the easy ones. Our work takes shape through photography exhibitions, books, data-driven investigations, digital narratives, and exhibitions.

This way of working has brought us to collaborate with National Geographic Spain and the Associated Press, to present projects at Rencontres d'Arles, the Lumínic Festival or the Fira Internacional del Libro in Bogotá, and to publish our photobook Petroleum.

01 / Fieldwork

Eroding Franco

Naseem, a ten-year resident in Albox, and Imran, newly arrived from Islamabad, discuss life's challenges far from home. Behind them, a faded sign depicts a real estate project that never materialised, unfulfilled ambitions of Spain's economic crisis.

Reimagining: The Spanish Civil War

A press archive surfaces in a provincial antiques stall and passes from hand to hand. Fifteen shards of the war pressed edge to edge on a single strip of film, tagged in hurried black ink.

L'Avenç, issue 518

Eroding Franco featured across a range of national outlets: ElDiario.es, SER, TotBarcelona, L'Avenç, Time Out, El Diari de Barcelona. The questions the work raises about memory, territory, and what remains buried matter to the media, to the public, and now.
