Forensic Architecture: Counter Investigations at ICA London

Forensic Architecture, an investigative architecture agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London, was a finalist for the 2018 Turner Prize. The group reconstructs incidents using open-source material, crowdsourced footage, and 3D modeling. Their projects include the murder of Halit Yozgat in Kassel, Germany; destruction of Bedouin villages in the Negev/Naqab desert; torture in Saydnaya prison, Syria; the 2011 left-to-die boat incident in the Mediterranean; and the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London. The team comprises researchers, architects, filmmakers, software developers, journalists, lawyers, and scientists. Their exhibition "Counter Investigations" at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London runs until May 13, 2018, presenting texts, photographs, 3D reconstructions, and video essays. The work aims to challenge state-controlled narratives and promote public accountability, partnering with organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
