Clinton Fein’s Torture
Images from Clinton Fein’s 2007 exhibition at the Toomey Tourell Gallery in San Francisco that sought to explore our nation’s use of torture during the Bush regime. Consisting of staged and digitally manipulated photographic images, Fein attempts to disrupt our (visual) complacency to images of torture by recreating scenes from Abu Ghraib in vivid, large-scale “reproductions” of the original exposing pictures.
