Caring for the Dead
In Caring for the Dead, Bridgit Anderson takes the viewer into the unfamiliar world of the undertaker through a powerfully composed set of black and white photographs. By providing the opportunity to view something that most people seldom get to see, the exhibition aims to demystify what is usually left to the imagination.
