Dean Rogers . Death Drive

-the exhibition is at Wapping Project, London (Oct 4 - Nov 1)

"an exhibition of photographs by Dean Rogers that shows the places where nine of our cultural heroes were killed in car crashes... Rogers took the images on the anniversary of the deaths, at the exact moment they occurred, and in the precise position the car was before impact. Whereas some of the final photographs are rendered atmospheric by darkness, many reveal the rather banal landscape witnessed by the subjects in the final seconds before their deaths."
