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.

Printed entirely in black and white on silk paper, its pages archive absence, challenge the spectacle of violence, and confront the ethics of art production. Readers are asked: What does it mean to witness, and what happens when witnessing fails? How can artists navigate the tension between aesthetics and ethics? Is refusing to create more images itself an artistic act?

Available for a short two-week window via Print-on-Demand, ARTIST STUDIO AS A SITE OF REFUSAL vanishes afterward—no reprints, no back orders—mirroring its conceptual stance of strategic disappearance. For anyone drawn to experimental cinema, critical theory, and the radical potential of refusal, this publication offers a tactile extension of the film’s video-poem into printed form.
