Retsteknisk arkitektur

by Eyal Weizman

I Retsteknisk arkitektur tager Eyal Weizman læserne fra droneangreb i Afghanistan til interneringslejre i Syrien og fra bombeattentater i Gaza til bjergene i Guatemala. Med detaljeret dokumentation præsenterer bogen en æstetisk og visuelt udfordrende undersøgelsespraksis, der intervenerer direkte i virkeligheden. Eyal Weizmans forskningsgruppe Forensic Architecture arbejder for at stille de ansvarlige for menneskerettighedsbrud til regnskab. Ved virtuelt at rekonstruere gerningssteder, bombede bygninger og udpinte landskaber skaber gruppen rammerne for nye erkendelser og vidnesbyrd.
