Loos prison in Lille, France
Margaine describes one response to his images of an abandoned prison in Melbourne. “A woman posted a comment a few years ago and said her dad had been locked inside and she was looking for a trace of history from him,” he says. “Then a few weeks ago somebody asked for her email, said they thought they were her sister but had never met her – the father was in jail, had children with different wives and they didn’t know each other. She had been looking for 20 years and now they’ve found each other.” This image shows Loos prison in Lille, France – one of the largest prisons in use under the Nazi occupation of northern France.
