Edmund Clark is known for his powerful, thoughtful and beautiful images exploring control and incarceration. Awards include the 2009 British Journal of Photography International Photography Award, and the 2008 Terry O'Neill/IPG Award for Contemporary British Photography for his book 'Still Life Killing Time'. His work is in several collections including The National Portrait Gallery, London, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
For eight years, the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay on Cuba has been home to hundreds of men, all Muslim, all detained in the aftermath of the 9/11 and most guilty of nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Through powerful imagery, Clark illustrates three experiences of the naval base, as a home to a US community, as a prison and as a memory to former detainees who, never having been charged, now have to rebuild their lives. This is an unsettling narrative evoking the disorientation central to Guantanamo incarceration and interrogation.
