LAWRENCE ABU HAMDAN
Someone Chewing
3 April – 1 August
Sfeir-Semler Karantina, Beirut

pt ii

In the new works from 2025, Abu Hamdan deals with noise and interference in media equipment, with an installation that uncovers the imperceptible electromagnetic fields that accompany us all the time through our portable electronic devices; as well as the systematic targeting of cameras, livestreams and journalists since the start of the genocide in Gaza and during the invasion of Lebanon by the Israeli army, using the last sometimes distorted frames of the targeted recording equipment to create an installation that shows the persistence of media through forces of erasure.
