McDonald’s hamburgers, computer monitors and cans of Budweiser all met their fate at the hands of artist Bill Burke in the making of Destrukto, a series of photographs that document inanimate objects being shot. With a gun. And a camera.

They’re a far cry from the documentary photos Burke is most well known for; the horrific results of war and poverty in Southeast Asia, Appalachian coal mining towns and the people that call them home, and are the artist’s furthest journey into the space where photography and performance art meet.
Destrukto is on view at Howard Yezerski Gallery, Boston until Tuesday, March 15.
Go here for gallery hours, location, etc.
