Christopher Sims, who’s attended the ACP Portfolio Review the last 2 (or more?) years has a show of photographs from Guantánamo Bay opening in DC this weekend. Great news, Chris!
“Civilian presents photographs by Christopher Sims depicting everyday life at the naval base and joint detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. It took Sims nearly three years to gain access to the base, which can be visited by civilians determined and patient enough to find the right channels to gain entry. A condition of his visit was that he was only permitted to shoot digital images, not negative film. Upon leaving the base, his work was inspected by military personnel and, with the exception of a few images, was deemed acceptable.”
