\r\nBy returning to forensis this book seeks to unlock forensics\u2019 original potential as a political practice and reorient it. Inverting the direction of the forensic gaze it designates a field of action in which individuals and organizations detect and confront state violations.

\r\nThe condition of forensis is one in which new technologies for mediating the \u201ctestimony\u201d of material objects\u2014bones, ruins, toxic substances, landscapes, and the contemporary medias in which they are captured and represented\u2014are mobilized in order to engage with struggles for justice, systemic violence, and environmental transformations across the frontiers of contemporary conflict.

\r\nThis book presents the work of the architects, artists, filmmakers, lawyers, and theorists who participated directly in the \u201cForensic Architecture\u201d project in the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths University of London, as well as the work of associates and guests. It includes forensic investigations undertaken by the project and its collaborators aimed at producing new kinds of evidence for use by international prosecutorial teams, political organizations, NGOs, and the UN. It also brings together research and essays that situate contemporary forensic practices within broader political, historical, and aesthetic discourse.
