Shot at Dawn is a new body of work by the photographer Chloe Dewe Mathews that focuses on the sites at which British, French and Belgian troops were executed for cowardice and desertion between 1914 and 1918.
Commissioned by the Ruskin School of Art as part of 14-18 NOW, WW1 Centenary Art Commissions, the project comprises images of the locations at which individuals were shot or held in the period leading up to their execution, and all were taken as close as possible to the precise time at which the executions occurred.
The exhibition has just opened at Stills: Scotland’s Centre for Photography in Edinburgh and will remain on display there until 25 January 2015. Further showings are scheduled to take place at Tate Modern in London, Museum Folkwang in Essen, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin and Ivorypress in Madrid through 2016.
