Lawrence Abu Hamdan (Amman, Jordan, 1985) explores the political dimension of sound and its role in the defence of human and environmental rights. In this installation, the artist documents a performance by the Jawlaní saxophonist Amr Mdah from the balcony of a house in occupied Syrian Golan, one of the 1,300 rural homes threatened by the construction of 33 wind turbines that are to be erected just 35 metres from the dwellings. The noise they will generate will make the area virtually uninhabitable and force those living there to leave. The image of the house is projected onto the grille of a bass amplifier, turning the house into a soundbox. The exuberant sound of the saxophone, improvised in the open air, stands as a gesture of sonic self-determination in the face of dispossession. The play invites us to ask more challenging questions about where and how the energy transition is taking place, and which ways of life are being left out of the equation.
