“A retrospective look at three years of military service as a photographer in an isolated desert base. Through the camera and the craft of printing, Shivtown allows one to relive a reality that is barely comprehensible.”

Documentary
"Surrounded by dozens of soldiers like me, I was led by bus to a remote camp in the desert, a place I knew nothing about. As a military photographer, I collected fragments of moments in my photos, serving as solid evidence for me." Shivtown is the story of an ordinary soldier who, in an intimate and courageous act, revisits memories from his military service through the still images he captured with an analog camera.
