When a City Falls

When a City Falls began as a project by Gerard Smyth to document the damage done to Christchurch by the September 2010 earthquake, and the subsequent recovery efforts in the months that followed. In February 2011 when the devastating magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck, killing 185 people and demolishing the majority of the city, Smyth's project became an important documentation of a community turned upside down.
