The Deaths in Newport marks the first public presentation in over thirty years of the photographer's largely unseen true crime research project. At its center is the sensational 1947 Overell murder case, with an unexpected personal connection: Baltz's father served as star witness. Originally produced as an interactive CD-ROM, the work employs a forensic structure that moves beyond the printed photograph. The exhibition revisits how Baltz approached the afterlives of public trauma through an emerging digital language.
