Shot at Dawn
Produced over the past two years, Shot at Dawn is a new body of work by the British photographer Chloe Dewe Mathews that focuses on the sites at which British, French and Belgian troops were executed for cowardice and desertion between 1914 and 1918. The project comprises images of twenty-three locations at which the soldiers were shot or held in the period leading up to their execution, and all were taken as close as possible to the precise time at which the executions occurred.
Join Wendy McMurdo on the 24 January in Edinburgh between 11 and 1. We will begin the visit with an introduction and gallery tour of the work from the Engagement Producer at Stills.

Hearing Chloe talk at the Brighton Photography Festival in October was definitely a highlight – this is a powerful body of work and bittersweet!
I agree with Amano. Certainly not one to be missed.
Ditto the above—hope that her show moves further south. Would be eager to see the images in a gallery context and at a large size.
