À propos du livre
Thirtyfour Black Sites is based on Ed Ruscha’s Thirtyfour Parking Lots in Los Angeles (1967). Ruscha’s work documented the growing and changing infrastructure of a sprawling American city without a center. The aerial photographs of vast empty parking lots describe a system and pattern of daily culture and habit.
Similarly, Thirtyfour Black Sites reveals a vast infrastructure, but of a secret detention program with a chain of prisons owned, operated, and/or utilized by the CIA. The images make the abuses and locations less abstract while also analyzing the growth of secrecy, extrajudicial black programs, and the CIA as a covert paramilitary.
