Clark powerfully juxtaposes photographs from the American naval base in Guantanamo Bay — images of restraints and a chair designed for force-feeding — with images from ex-detainees’ houses — including a child’s toy slide and a plate of pears and plums atop a cross-stitched tablecloth — for a layered examination of the notion of home, woven together with letters and cards sent to prisoners with chunks of filial updates blacked out by guards, while a haunting video interlaces recordings of the Wikileaks-sourced Camp Delta procedures manual with narrated testimony of one of the camp’s torture victims. —Sara Roffino
