For eight years Guantanamo has been home to hundreds of men, all Muslim, all detained in the aftermath of 9/11. Held in legal limbo for years and repeatedly interrogated, almost all have now been released without chargevery few have been tried in court.

Guantanamo illustrates three experiences of home: at Guantanamo naval base, home to the American community; in the camp complex where the detainees have been held; and in the homes where former detainees, never charged with any crime, find themselves trying to rebuild lives. These notions of home are brought together in an unsettling visual narrative.
