Or just speaking of Henry Hargreaves, the name seems a bit unfamiliar, but when it comes to his works, the impression is overwhelming. "Deep Fried Gadgets" was probably the first photo album I saw of him, and another favorite of mine is his "Mark Rice-Ko" composed of rice. It is a cute and funny creative application that does not require any imagination. ; Unique and perverse ideas or dark things combined with his signature highly colorful shooting style, sometimes contrasting, sometimes foiling, sometimes ironic.
About this "NO SECONDS" photo album, the theme is the last supper of the condemned prisoners. Death may not be foreseeable, but what if you are a death row prisoner? Knowing that you must bid farewell to the world in front of you, what would you choose to eat as your last meal?
The methods of execution and the way prisoners on death row are treated vary depending on the region. Some have monetary limits, some are optional, and some prison guards will buy the last meal for prisoners on death row. Henry Hargreaves chose to photograph these ultimate meals with colorful fish, and at the same time, he recorded in words the reasons, methods and final hungry meals of the death row inmates who were about to leave the world.
Some people ask for steak, lobster, fish and meat with apple slices while watching Lord of the Rings. In Texas, they all eat the same last meal as everyone else. Some people only order an olive, some refuse to eat, and some people Ordered two pints of mint chocolate ice cream, and a death row inmate who once ran three KFCs chose a chicken bucket meal with strawberries.
Henry Hargreaves recreates last meal in his own way based on limited information, and describes it in as much detail as possible; he hopes that everyone can understand the mood and scene that cannot be described with words through the lens. The words on the right are objective and external, describing the worlds description of his crimes and life; the photos on the left are internal and personal, and are what he ultimately wants to enjoy. What graduates see, besides the real things, there are things that are as colorless and odorless as air but always exist.
