    About The Camps America Built

    Now showing live at the International Center of Photography, *The Camps America Built* brings Haruka Sakaguchi’s research-driven practice into an NYC museum context. The exhibition examines the architecture and bureaucratic logic of confinement in the United States, tracing how camps are planned, built, and remembered. In New York City, the work lands as a civic document as much as an artwork, asking what public institutions choose to record and what they leave unspoken. Its most pointed achievement is its restraint: it lets systems, not spectacle, carry the weight.
