The first complete monograph on an artist whose work investigates surveillance and government secrecy in the digital age

Blending photography, installation, investigative journalism, and science, Paglen explores the clandestine activity of government and intelligence agencies, using high-grade equipment to document their movements and reveal their hidden inner workings.
