A moving post, thank you. Your opening comments about death notwithstanding, something about this series reminds me of The Final Project by Joe Spence, where she documented her experience of terminal cancer. In case you haven't come across it, I reviewed it very briefly years ago: https://www.wallpaper.com/art/jo-spence-moving-last-hurrah-at-richard-saltoun

Astonishing. I only know her earlier feminist work but those final photos are incredible. I need to correct that statement about death as a binary!
I'd never heard of this book. Thanks for the introduction.
Thank you for introducing me to this work. I was not familiar with the photographer, which adds to my gratitude! Good pick. Nice work. Well said.
Thank you. He has some really interesting new work in the most recent British Journal of Photography where he is exposing prints to road pollution.
Not a cheerful read … but thought provoking
