Edmund Clark

Edmund Clark is an award-winning artist who is interested in linking history, politics and representation. His work traces ideas of shared humanity, otherness and unseen experience through landscape, architecture and the documents, possessions and environments of subjects of political tension. Recent works ‘Negative Publicity: Artefacts of Extraordinary Rendition’ (made in collaboration with Crofton Black), ‘Guantanamo: If The Light Goes Out’ and ‘Control Order House’ engage with state censorship to explore the hidden experiences and spaces of control and incarceration in the ‘Global War on Terror’. His work has been exhibited widely including major solo museum exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum, London and Zephyr, Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen, Mannheim. Clark’s work has been acquired for national and international collections including, in Britain, The NationalPortrait Gallery, The Imperial War Museum and The National Media Museum. He was awarded the Royal Photographic Society Hood Medal for outstanding photography for public service in 2011 and shortlisted for the prestigious Prix Pictet for 2012 for the theme of Power.
