Jumping is done from the top platform. From the underlying floors, as well as from the audience seating opposite the building, spectators can watch the suicides happen live.
Pavel Sterec, ‘I don’t believe in past lives’ (2008)
Series of photographs of dead ends of tunnels inside a mine in Pribyslav, established by prospectors’ mistake. After the mine had been worked on for about 10 years, nothing had been found and the mine was left abandoned.
‘Shot at Dawn’ focuses on the sites at which British, French and Belgian troops were executed for cowardice and desertion between 1914 and 1918. The series comprises twenty-three photographs, each depicting a location at which the soldiers were shot. These executions would usually take place in the early morning, before the battle started. All the photographs were taken as close as possible to the precise time at which the executions occurred.
