Breaking Point is a new photobook by Robin Dahlberg that examines wrongful convictions in the United States by focusing on the interrogation phase of criminal investigations, in which false confessions can emerge as a result of coercive tactics. Comprising approximately 75 photographs, the book directs sustained attention to the conditions and pressures that make such confessions possible.
Made between 2017 and 2025, the tonally restrained black-and-white photographs include portraits of six exonerated individuals alongside atmospheric images of abstract outdoor spaces and still lifes, photographed on film studio sets and in interiors that recall interrogation rooms.
