'A keen sense of the absurd and a desire to question the possibilities of photography are also key elements in Robert Wyatt's work. The series "It Was a Disaster...," was produced with the help of the organization, Casualties Union who supply trained casualties to groups such as St John's Ambulance. Unlike documentary photography which captures the moment, these images have been staged giving them the look of press shots, or those found in an instruction manual. While constructing a surreal and humorous narrative they simultaneously question the truth of the photograph.'
