The Sugar and the Hunger by Robert Linhart
Graphic designer Ott Kagovere used an early version of Turist for The Sugar and the Hunger by Robert Linhart, published in an edition of 800 copies by Rab-Rab Press:
The first English language translation of Robert Linhart’s The Sugar and the Hunger, originally published in 1980 is an indispensable factographic inquiry into modern hunger.
Widely acclaimed for his engaged social analyses of proletariat and peasant struggles around the world, Linhart’s inquiry into the sugar regions of North-Eastern Brazil, juxtaposes heterogeneous traits of the impoverished workers’ stories into a vivid cinematic montage.
Translated by John M Floyd and Emilio Sauri, the book includes rare photographs taken by François Manceaux in Northeastern Brazil in 1979.
Turist (WIP) is an interpretation of Venezia, released by Keystone in 1899.
