'A Language of the Vanishing' presents a series of photographs of dead animals, killed by passing cars in the Australian bush. Claudia Terstappen photographs the creatures where they lie - flattened, bloodied and limbs askew. The emergent images bear witness to the terrifying beauty of death and the power of the photograph to arrest what is small and fleeting. Magnified and still, these photographs document the vanishing species, allowing the viewer to examine them in a way they never could in life.
