Twin Palms publishers announces a new photographic Book titled « Libyan Sugar « by American photographer Michael Christopher Brown .
Centered around the 2011 Libyan Revolution, Libyan Sugar is a road trip through a war zone, detailed through photographs, journal entries, and written communication with family and colleagues.
A record of Michael Christopher Brown’s life both inside and outside Libya during that year, the book is about a young man going to war for the first time and the desire to get as close as possible to a conflict in order to discover something about war and something about himself.
Brown worked as a freelance photojournalist for seven years prior to photographing in Libya. When he learned about developments in Libya, he felt a strong attraction to know more about a country largely closed to the world.
In Libya he was injured twice and lost colleagues while covering the violence, which caused him to search for meaning and the relationship between Libya and his home in the United States. The book reveals the physical and emotional toll on the storyteller and his loved ones. Brown is working on a film and a mixed media installation incorporating video, images, sound, and artifacts which will complete the project.
