Lawrence Abu Hamdan Zifzafa

Lawrence Abu Hamdan
  • Closed

Who suffers the consequences of the green movement? Hear the way 250-metre tall wind turbines blend with everyday sounds and impact on a local community.

Zifzafa is an Arabic word describing a wind that shakes and rattles everything in its path. Lawrence Abu Hamdan has created a work which demonstrates the effect that more than 30 planned wind turbines will have upon the inhabitants of the occupied Golan Heights.

Lawrence Abu Hamdan takes you through the landscape in a guided play-through, showing the impact of the planned 250-metre wind turbines. Their mechanical roar merges with recordings of children at play, bees buzzing, birds singing. Abu Hamdan also includes a video of saxophonist Amr Mdah, playing from the balcony of one of the area’s small houses. Together, these elements form an acoustic portrait of the Golan Heights: both a warning of what stands to be lost and a record of the community’s resilience.
