‘I Burn But I Am Not Consumed’ brings together photographs and an archive collated by photographer Alicia Bruce and the residents of Menie, Scotland. The project documents sixteen years of Donald Trump’s impact on the coastal Scottish community from 2006 until present day. The book includes essays by Karine Polwart, multi-award winning Scottish songwriter and musician, Lesley Riddoch, Scottish radio broadcaster, activist and journalist and Louise Pearson, curator of photography at the National Galleries of Scotland.
‘I Burn But I Am Not Consumed’ was first launched at ICP Photobook Fair in New York where Alicia took part in a panel discussion and gave a lecture at ICP.
Images from the book are currently being exhibited at MoCP Chicago until 22 December this year.
