Description - Darkside II by Urs Stahel
Following the survey of photographed sexuality and lust in "Darkside I", the other end of the physical spectrum is illuminated: the intimate affinity between death and photography impairment, disease, degeneration, violence and death, pain, grief and loss. Recording death is, along with war reporting, one of photography's original tasks. Pictures of horror are often shocking and yet bestselling. They provoke questions about exploitation, complicity and power relationships in front of and behind the camera and in the photograph itself.
