This book was presented in Milan in the presence of the author, on the occasion of the first ProgresFestival:

The two souls of a photographer: despair and hope, a documentarian and creator, a pragmatist and dreamer. Charles reveals his poetic self to us. Words and images interwoven. 

In my original project – Brief Encounter – I wanted to explore people’s nostalgia, looking back on war as a safe memory, but this wasn’t enough. I was drawn back to those events, those shots. I wanted to understand better what it was they felt so nostalgic about. I felt compelled to create images that told of the suffering, without being partisan. I set out to create images powerful enough to convey the desperation, something that moved people (hopefully) without being overly graphic. I wanted to immerse myself in the happenings, the emotions, to better understand a country’s need to hark back to something so insular and long gone, rather than look forward to a more collective future. But, as with all things, I wanted to portray a rounded picture, a lifting up of the head from the gloom, a sense of optimism and the knowing that we will prevail.
