Evidence is the accumulation of six years work on political
disappearance by the photographer Diana Matar. Years ago the
artist’s fatherin- law, a Libyan opposition leader, was kidnapped
by the Egyptian secret service and handed over to the Gaddafi
regime; he has been missing since. The first third of the book is a
meditation on absence told through photographs and excerpts of
letters written by the artist to her missing father- in-law,
Jaballa. Slowly the book begins to change as it is made clear that
Jaballa’s actions have implications on her own life and
family’s safety. As she travels through London, Libya, Italy and
California, the images and diary entries take one on a journey
through contemporary history. Crafted as an homage to one man, the
book shows the cruel effects of dictatorship on intimate
relationships and family life.
