Outposts / Kandahar Province presents Donovan Wylie's photographs
of Forward Operating Bases constructed in the Kandahar Province of
Afghanistan. From 2006 to 2011, Canada sent nearly 3,000 military
personnel to Afghanistan in support of NATO's International
Security Assistance Force. Serving alongside infantry and
artillery, military engineers designed a network of outposts
throughout the province. Built on natural promontories with
multiple lines of sight, these outposts formed a protective visual
architecture. They were frequently positioned on defensive
locations established during earlier conflicts and represent
reincarnations of past histories under new powers. The resulting
images are the latest phase in Wylie's interrogation of the
architecture of modern conflict. The work was made on behalf of the
Imperial War Museum in London and with generous support from the
Bradford Fellowship in Photography.
