The people who participated in the show supplied a photo of themselves with someone who has died – then Simon, who was prompted to explore the process of grief and bereavement following the death of his father, restaged the old picture at the exact spot where it was taken. Here are the nine stories featured in the show. See www.museums-sheffield.org.uk for more information and read a full interview with Simon here.
