Synopsis

In 2006, photographer Hunter Barnes (b. 1977) travelled to Sri Lanka, intending to document the devastating aftermath of the 2004 tsunami. Instead, he arrived amid rapidly increasing tensions in the civil war and a breakdown of the ceasefire established four years previously. A WORLD AWAY offers a rare glimpse into a largely visually undocumented period in Sri Lankan history. Barnes was one of very few Western photographers on the ground at the time. This is a long-buried archive, with a fifteen-year hiatus between image making and publishing, attributed to Barnes’ personal journey of processing the experience. He writes, “what I lived and felt has been buried far in my mind,” both literally and metaphorically, “sealed shut in a box of film and a journal I am just now able to read.” The book is dedicated to the Tamil people of Sri Lanka, with whom he spent his time, and their stories of hope, resilience and bravery that he is now ready to share. The images paint a portrait of a complex landscape, with the people holding on to hope in light of continued, unending violence and a devastating natural disaster. The accompanying diary entries are personal and deeply emotional, allowing one access to Barnes’ innermost thoughts as he travelled and photographed Sri Lanka. Between the images and the text Hunter Barnes reinforces his reputation as a unique photographic talent, acclaimed for his black-and-white portraits of cultures and communities often ignored by the mainstream.
