Now on view in Gallery 8: Walled Unwalled by Lawrence Abu Hamdan

Lawrence Abu Hamdan is an artist and audio investigator whose work explores auditory consciousness and memory within the law and human rights. He has worked as a sound expert with Forensic Architecture, a research agency that uncovers human rights violations, publish findings and make it available for legal proceedings by using creative methods.

Walled Unwalled is a 20-minute performance-video installation consisting of a series of performances and monologues staged inside Funkhaus Berlin, the former radio broadcasting centre of the German Democratic Republic. The work explores the permeability of architecture, linking a series of narratives derived from legal cases that revolved around evidence that was heard or experienced through walls.
