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 photographer Michael Christopher Brown’s (born 1978) life both inside and outside Libya during that year, the work is about a young man going to war for the first time and his experience of that age-old desire to get as close as possible to a conflict in order to discover something about war and something about himself: perhaps a certain definition of life and death.
