A hotel room in Macedonia. A warehouse in the Lithuanian countryside.
These are just some of the vestiges from the War on Terror uncovered in the book Negative Publicity: Artefacts of Extraordinary Rendition, by photographer Edmund Clark and investigator Crofton Black.
By following the seemingly mundane bureaucratic paper trail left in the wake of the extraordinary rendition program, spearheaded by the U.S. and U.K., Clark and Black document many of the locations where torture took place.
These are not exotic places. They are ordinary.
“A lot of these photographs are at the limit of the point of photography, the limits of what you can see”, says Clark. “Behind all these facades, behind all these objects, are bodies in pain.”
