The Rock

My personal connection with Gibraltar is almost as long and complex as that of The Rock’s own residents relationship with their Spanish neighbours and British ‘protectors’. My Mum worked there; I got married there; and I have been photographing it for over a decade. Casual visitors describe Gibraltar as, ‘a little bit of Britain in the sun.’ However, The Rock is quintessentially itself; irreducible to a simple binary identity of Spanish or British; and an enduring site of dispute and tension, as much as a symbol of solidity and resistance.
