To commemorate the centennial of the First World War, the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art has commissioned the young British photographer Chloe Dewe Mathews to produce a new body of work, the outcomes of which will be the subject of a major exhibition and accompanying publication. In this video podcast Chloe discusses how her photographic collection is addressing one of the conflict’s most sensitive topics – the execution of troops for cowardice or desertion.
