The fascination we have as humans with our ability to do evil,
witness the evidence of horror and stare fixedly at photographic,
filmic or artefacts connected with death, is at the heart of the
phenomenon known as 'Dark Tourism'. These images are about much
more than tourism and the visiting of such sites, they challenge
the nature of our behaviour, our history and our societies'
relationship with evil and mortality. They are a testament to our
past, to our inability to move beyond it and our curious
relationship with tragedy and death." - from the introduction by
J.J. Lennon Ambroise Tezenas has visited over a dozen major sites
of dark tourism across the world - from Cambodia to Rwanda, Lebanon
to Lithuania, Ukraine to the United States. These are sites
developed for tourism and linked to death, assassination,
incarceration, mass killing and tragedy. Yet dark tourism is not a
new phenomenon and similar sites have attracted human interest for
many years. From the gladiatorial combats of ancient Rome through
to attendance at public executions in London of the 1600s, it seems
that death and disaster have maintained a lasting appeal.
