c|o Berlin Exhibition – Das letzte Bild
08.12.18 – 03.03.19
Photographic works depict dramatic moments of killing, dying, and death with such intensity and complexity that the dead almost seem to still be alive. In medical or forensic contexts, photographs serve as detached and emotionless documents in which the dead body appears to be little more than an object. And some photographers have created allegories of death in which Death itself is either nowhere to be seen or almost unbearably present. Some of these images are so powerful that we feel we are looking our own mortality in the eye. Pdf
