To mark the publication of On the Shadow Tracks, a novel written by Clare Hammond, an exhibition took place this weekend featuring stills of life on Myanmar’s railways, photographed by our director, Libby Burke Wilde.
Simultaneously a lush and evocative travelogue, an unsparing account of Myanmar's recent history, and an astonishing, conversation-shifting engagement with Britain's colonial legacy, On the Shadow Tracks was described as a train to Myanmar's dark heart in a recent review on the Guardian.
Libby's stills document the beating heart of life on Myanmar's railways. A selection of signed, editioned A3 prints are available to buy here. All profits will go to educational charity Prospect Burma.
'On the Shadow Tracks harnesses the railway lines of Myanmar’s complicated past to its turbulent present, and the result is part travelogue, part history and completely absorbing. An astonishing achievement.’ — Joanna Lumley
