'missing'- Exhibition by Rachel wilberforce

Date: From March 2010 onwards (permanent collection)
Venue: International Slavery Museum, Albert Dock, Liverpool
Admission: Free (open daily 10am-5pm)
Information: www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/ism/collections/recent/missing.aspx

Photographed in urban and suburban Britain by the artist Rachel Wilberforce, the images depict sex-trafficking and prostitution: the interiors and exteriors of working or derelict flats, brothels and so-called massage parlours. They are devoid of people, yet at the same time reveal human activity. 'Missing' responds to the psychology of sexual exploitation: the loss of identity, sense of displacement and violation of human rights, as well as the clandestine nature of the crimes.
