In case of sudden death the Victorians resorted to the rather unsettling habit of having a photograph of the deceased.
In case of sudden death the Victorians resorted to the rather creepy habit of having a photograph of the deceased taken after death. Post-mortem photography was also used for the documentation of victims of violent crimes, such as the victims of Jack the Ripper. Dr Anastasia Tsaliki (archaeologist & anthropologist) and Valentina Lari (photographer & film-maker) will explore the challenges posed by post-mortem photography through a selection of such photographs and the point of view of a modern professional regarding the photography of sensitive subjects, such as death and human remains.
Please be advised that you may find some of the images disturbing.
