This a documentary project, a novel, a lipogramme and an imaginary anthropological study in one. It responds to the death and disappearance of the author’s close friend –photojournalist Anton Hammerl– during the 2011 Libyan war, through an examination of the geography and circumstances surrounding his demise as well as a reflection on the paradoxical role that photography has played in conflict zones.
This project results from a collaboration with inmates, incarcerated in the West Midlands (UK), their families and local organisations and individuals. By giving a voice to his subjects, the author proposes to rethink and counter the sort of imagery normally associated with incarceration and confinement.
