Taryn Simon photographs some of the most top-secret, highly restricted areas in the world. Her latest book, <CITE>An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar</CITE>, took four years to assemble as the photographer gained access to research facilities and government offices hidden from the public. "I felt like I was discovering a new landscape in America, a new terrain, morally and politically," she said.
