Winner of the Sony World Photography Awards 2023 I Paris Photo & Aperture Photobook Awards 2025 Shortlist
Following the death and disappearance of photojournalist Anton Hammerl during the 2011 Libyan War, this groundbreaking photobook investigates the circumstances of his demise. Described by the artist as a documentary project, a lipogram, and an imaginary anthropological study, the work serves as both a forensic mapping of a lost friend and a brilliant interrogation of photography’s role in conflict zones.
