“The voice is the last place from which truth can be derived.” –LAbuHamdan, in our upcoming Fall 50th Anniversary issue.
, Abu Hamdan was born in Jordan but moved to the U.K. with his family at the age of 11. In his late teens, while making experimental music with his brother, he took a particular interest in sound, seeing its potential for tackling issues far beyond the confines of the music industry. Five years ago, after finishing his studies, he moved to Beirut with his wife to focus on his unorthodox installations.
This “in-betweenness” is most evident in his exploration of the elusive nature of memory and speech. “The voice is the last place from which truth can be derived,” he says, understanding that all stories are constantly shifting and evolving,even when his “Ear witnesses” are speaking from the heart,” currently on display at the Venice Biennale, a video screen plays a projection of Abu Hamdan standing in a recording studio.
