The Gaddafi Archives: Libya Before the Arab Spring opened tonight at the Slade Research Centre (Woburn Square, WC1H 0AB) and will run until 29 June. The show is part of the London Festival of Photography and is in association with Human Rights Watch and Frame Company.
The archive features over 1,000 images from the days just before the coup that saw the Libyan dictator take power to the last days of his often epically solipsistic reign.
