Guantanamo, Behind closed doors

moazzam begg, guardian weekend magazine

“I’ve seen more cameraman and photographers since my return from Guantánamo than I can remember, all of them wanting me to pose for pictures. Edmund Clark, on the other hand, wanted to photograph everything in my home – except for me. He wanted to tell the story of Guantánamo through the prism of the domestic, of personal space. He sets pictures of the homes of former prisoners around the world against those of the cells in which we were confined. In his collection are images that will be for ever etched in my mind.”
