Beate Geissler & Oliver Sann: Personal Kill

The German duo Beate Geissler and Oliver Sann photograph pregnant absence--the pregnant absence of people from loaded spaces. Previously they have photographed freshly-vacated foreclosed homes, and for their latest project, Personal Kill, they document U.S. army training areas. In military jargon, "personal kill" refers to killing the enemy with direct contact, a prospect for which these training areas attempt to prepare soldiers.
