In 2014, Lawrence Abu Hamdan was asked to analyze audio recordings of the shootings of Nadeem Nawara and Mohamed Abu Daher in the West Bank. His work reflects on this process by amplifying the silence around these victims’ voices. The video presents a fictional trial of the murder case, based on a 2014 incident where two unarmed teenagers were killed by Israeli soldiers. Despite the case never reaching a civil court, detailed audio analysis proved the soldiers’ guilt. The work transforms the viewer into a juror, emphasizing the silence and suppression of evidence.
Godine 2014., Lawrence Abu Hamdan je analizirao audio snimke pucnjave u kojoj su poginuli Nadeem Nawara i Mohamed Abu Daher na Zapadnoj obali. Ovaj film promišlja ovaj proces naglašavajući tišinu oko glasova žrtava. Video prikazuje fiktivno suđenje temeljeno na incidentu iz 2014. godine, kada su dvojicu nenaoružanih tinejdžera ubili izraelski vojnici. Iako slučaj nikada nije došao do civilnog suda, detaljna analiza zvuka dokazala je krivnju vojnika. Rad pretvara gledaoca u porotnika, naglašavajući tišinu i suzdržavanje dokaza.
