ARTIST STUDIO AS A SITE OF REFUSAL is a limited-run artist book continuing the conceptual line of Parham Ghalamdar’s award-winning film, The Sight is a Wound, which explores the collapse of imagery in an age of atrocity. Developed during Ghalamdar’s residency at Good Eye Projects, the publication refuses traditional art-book conventions in favor of a forensic, clandestine aesthetic—echoing the destruction and “burned remains” central to the film’s themes.
