Ann Messner: penitentiary

An offset 28 page tabloid of full-page black and white photographs is distributed free of charge through a newspaper vending machine in Cellblock 10. The photographs are images taken within the complex that visualize a dual reality of the site: that it was once a penitentiary where people were imprisoned, that it is now a historical site where visitors are free to come and go.

Edition of 10,000. Free.
