Interestingly there’s an article in today’s Observer newspaper by Geraldine Bedell (<\/span>The spectral memorials that haunt our roads<\/span><\/a><\/span>) exploring\u00c2\u00a0the phenomenon of ghost bikes, which I coincidently wrote about in the <\/span>blog<\/span><\/a><\/span> last week. The article features a series of photographs by Katherine Rose of ghost bikes shot at night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spectre is also the title of an exhibition in the Brighton Photo Fringe<\/a> featuring work by the photographers\u00c2\u00a0Karen Grainger, Wendy Pye, Toby Smith,\u00c2\u00a0Jackie Castellano, Kristy Gosling, Richard Kolker and Adrian Wood.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The exhibition explores several subjects surrounding the theme of the ‘Spectre’ and\u00c2\u00a0includes “the social impact of online virtual escape worlds, video\u00c2\u00a0work exploring the relationship between depression and perception, undercover cold war archaeology, the aging process and photography’s more conceptual relationship with death and the ghost.”<\/p>\n

I’m particularly interested in seeing the work of\u00c2\u00a0Wendy Pye<\/a>, which explores the landscape of Beachy Head, a beauty spot in Sussex and notorious location for people attempting suicide. The image above shows flowers left at the scene of a suicide, photographed at night.<\/p>\n

You can find out details of the exhibition on this dedicated\u00c2\u00a0website<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
