Robin Dahlberg (Documentary Practice & Visual Journalism '12) is set to release her photo book Breaking Point, on May 14, at Soho Photo Gallery in New York.The photo book was published by German publisher Kehrer Verlag, and is also scheduled for release in Europe in April.
Breaking Point examines one of the least visible yet most consequential stages of the criminal justice process: police interrogation. Created in close collaboration with six exonerees, the project explores how coercive, guilt-presumptive interrogation practices can lead innocent people to confess to crimes they did not commit.
Robin is a visual artist and arts educator based in New York City whose photographic practice grew out of her earlier career as a civil rights lawyer, exploring issues of identity, place, and resilience.
"The book provides an in-depth examination of the phenomenon of false confessions through the stories of six exonerees who were wrongfully imprisoned after having falsely confessed. It invites us to reevaluate our assumptions about guilt, truth, and authority."
The book release will take place at Soho Photo Gallery, 539 W 23rd St, New York on May 14 at 6:30 PM.
