Earwitness Inventory (Photographs), 2019

Related to the installation Earwitness Inventory is Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s first artist book, presenting pictures of the objects that were taken during the first exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery, London. Conceived as a photo box, the work includes 30 cards that take up the artist’s acoustic research and interviews with earwitnesses around the world. Each one features an image on the recto and an accompanying text on the verso ; the whole acts as an archive or a database of the narratives from which the objects are drawn.
