Edmund Clark's 'War of Terror' at Imperial War Museum

Edmund Clark's exhibition 'War of Terror' at the Imperial War Museum in London, running until August 2017, immerses visitors in the disorientation and tension of post-9/11 security measures, especially in the US and UK. The show features photographs, documents, and multimedia installations from Clark's archives, including images of Guantanamo Bay—where he was one of the few civilians granted access—and the CIA's extraordinary rendition program. A key section documents Clark's cohabitation with a suspected terrorist under a Control Order House between December 2011 and January 2012, resulting in 390 small-format photographs depicting mundane yet claustrophobic spaces. The exhibition avoids moral judgment, instead raising questions about practices involving both US and UK governments. Notably, no individual subjected to extraordinary rendition has been prosecuted for terrorism-related activities.
