Anton’s Hand is Made of Guilt. No Muscle or Bone. He has a Gung-ho Finger and a Grief-stricken Thumb.
This a documentary project, a novel, a lipogramme and an imaginary anthropological study in one. It responds to the death and disappearance of the author’s close friend –photojournalist Anton Hammerl– during the 2011 Libyan war, through an examination of the geography and circumstances surrounding his demise as well as a reflection on the paradoxical role that photography has played in conflict zones.
