The last dinners of those executed in the USA in 2016 (33 photos)

Photographer Henry Hargreaves gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "dinner to die for" by recreating the last meal of every prisoner executed in the US in 2016.

Henry Hargreaves, who was born in New Zealand but now lives in Brooklyn, US, hopes his powerful series of images will draw attention to the number of American prisoners executed in 2016.

This thought-provoking project is called A Year of Killing and is a continuation of the 2011 photographic series No Seconds.

Here are the last 20 dinners that Hargreaves reconstructed using official documents and photographed.
