In this episode, The Photobook Podcast features Saba Hasan, a contemporary artist working with photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture and film. A recipient of the Raza National Award for Painting and the Pollock - Krasner Foundation Grant, Saba questions the notion of truth and knowledge through prolonged inquiry and experimentation. Her practice transforms books through folding, cutting, burning and embedding, eventually turning the book into a sculptural artifact.
