Lawrence Abu Hamdan

Lawrence Abu Hamdan is an independent investigator or Private Ear. His investigations focus on sound and linguistics. This 45-minute video essay plunges viewers into a chilling chronicle of daily life transformed by the weaponisation of the air, where the terror of repeated incursions becomes a disconcertingly banal backdrop.

In 45th Parallel, a monologue is performed in a building on a borderline. Lawrence Abu Hamdan intelligently exposes the absurdity of borders and the often hypocritical legislation around them.
