About Libyan Sugar
In the short essay that opens his book Libyan Sugar, Michael Christopher Brown offers a succinct but poignant written description. In the desert, there would sometimes only be a smell of metal, of smoking scraps of tanks or rockets, and there would sometimes be a feeling that at any moment the place where one stood might vanish. That sensorial evocation lays the first bricks for the remarkable sense of place. Consequently Brown builds throughout his entire body of work. The world of Libyan Sugar is vividly real and tense. A masterful vision of war that is also close and personal. The intimate details Brown sprinkles throughout the text immerse us in his experience. As readers, we feel that we are growing alongside the photographer as he explores his new milieu.
