Soup & Yogurt: 2005 – ongoing

In 2005, I began an archive-creation focusing on the complex relationships between detainees at Guantanamo Bay, their lawyers, the international media, and the public. The resulting project, After You’ve Been Burned By Hot Soup You Blow In Your Yogurt (or Soup & Yogurt), is the largest privately-held visual media collection portraying U.S. detained suspected terrorists, discovered and sourced from the work of attorneys representing these individuals at Guantanamo Bay. Sample video and photo-text series are below.
