At the Funkhaus studios in East Berlin audio investigator Abu Hamdan recorded stories about court cases that revolved around sounds. Witnesses heard these through walls like in the Oscar Pistorius case. Here, on the threshold of observation, the barrier between public and private becomes diaphanous. No wall is impenetrable.
Lawrence Abu Hamdan born 1985 in Amman, Jordan. The Beirut-based artist and audio researcher makes films, installations, sculptures and performances that explore the interface between sound and politics. His installation "Walled Unwalled" is shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2019. |
