LIBYAN SUGAR - Michael C. Brown
With Libyan Sugar, Michael Christopher Brown (1978-) documents the Libyan revolution of 2011. Taking the approach of recreating an atmosphere by taking photos with the same tools the Libyans used, he uses a cell phone. Nearly 400 shots are accompanied by a substantial body of writing in which he shares his thoughts and emotions. This book is a trace of the photographer's life, depicting a young reporter going to war for the first time, and his experience of this age. He expresses an old desire to get as close as possible to a conflict, to discover not only what war is really like, but also to partly rediscover himself, which can be seen as a certain definition of life and death.
