Lo-res images (suggesting surveillance or documentation) are poetically edited in this meditation on the torture at Abu Ghraib, where women are both victims and perpetrators of organized violence. “But the Abu Ghraib photographs are an event in themselves…they make it clear that the east and the west are joined intimately and unwillingly, in a diabolical pas de deux of violence and death: joined in image and reality, as perpetrators and voyeurs.” —Susie Linfield, Dissent Magazine
