In Amber Volume 1
My Darling Brian
My Darling Brian is the greatest love story never told, spanning many decades, countries, highs and lows.
The book follows the life of Bibsie and Brian, young lovers who seek to overcome the obstacles that seek to prevent their desire to be together; will life get in the way of true love or can they live happily ever after?
My Darling Brian is the first volume of In Amber, a collection of photographic novellas which tell stories we are all familiar with. Told entirely through sequencing archival imagery and borrowing from cliché, stereotype and shared popular culture, each book offers a narrative that has been repeated by storytellers for centuries.
Unknown protagonists move through shifting aesthetics, fleeting glances and alternative realities. Past memories are given an alternative voice – a reflection on current culture that challenges our belief in the conventional linearity of time or history.
