Still Life (After Goya)

This series of photographs draws on the Western tradition of still life (nature morte and vanitas) paintings. It specifically references Goya’s A Still Life of Dead Hares (1812), which was painted during the Napoleonic occupation of Spain, a period for him of death and mourning. Adopting a forensic approach, the series document in acute detail the main stages of decomposition over the passage of time, and takes 'nature morte' to its logical conclusion.
