The book tells the story of a young student from Turkey who became an icon of leftist resistance, an armed militant, a political prisoner, and finally, a proxy soldier in an American war. This visual essay traces the history of the aerial view—in art, mythology, journalism, and warfare—to make the case for other ways of looking.“A complex, deeply reflective work that weaves together strands of the personal, political, and mythological with deft subtlety.”— Culturebot“This always intriguing company continues to create unexpected, challenging work that approaches story and ideas from multiple angles and generates a thrill with unusual juxtapositions.”— AMERICAN THEATERThe piece stands as a more somber companion to lighthearted experiments by the likes of Forced Entertainment and Gob Squad […] This is a work that succeeds as it fails, speaking most eloquently when it admits that it can’t tell the story it wanted to tell, that its maps can’t plot the shape of a human life.— New York Times (about an earlier iteration of this piece, then called ‘Maps for a War Tourist).sister sylvester makes visual essays across live-performance, film and new media.
