About - Mohamed Hassan, “Our Hidden Room”
"The winner of the Star Photobook Dummy award 2024, marking it as a standout work in visual storytelling and memoir.
Blending photography and storytelling, Our Hidden Room is a raw and intimate portrayal of a complex yet loving father-son relationship, filled with both tenderness and pain.
A testament to the power of art to bear witness, transform suffering into meaning, and find beauty even in loss.
“This is about my father. This is about me. This is about our hidden room.” Our Hidden Room is an intimate and moving memoir that explores the life of the author’s father—a man shaped by hardship, a deep love for photography, and a lifelong battle with mental illness. Across six chapters, the narrative traces his journey from a difficult childhood in an orphanage in Alexandria to his time in the Egyptian Army, where he discovered photography as both an artistic outlet and a means of solace. Through a deeply personal lens, the author reflects on his father’s resilience, the stigma surrounding mental illness, and the role of art in preserving memory and identity. Photography, once a source of pain for his father, becomes a path of healing for the author."
We will also have a wonderful selection of photobook stallholders.
More to be announced soon!

Ynglŷn â - Mohamed Hassan, “Ein Hystafell Gudd”
"Enillydd gwobr Star Photobook Dummy 2024, gan ei nodi fel gwaith nodedig mewn adrodd straeon gweledol a chofiant.
Gan gyfuno ffotograffiaeth ac adrodd straeon, mae Our Hidden Room yn bortread amrwd a pherthynas agos atoch o berthynas gymhleth ond cariadus rhwng tad a mab, yn llawn tynerwch a phoen.
Tystysgrif i bŵer celf i dystio, trawsnewid dioddefaint yn ystyr, a dod o hyd i harddwch hyd yn oed mewn colled.
“Mae hyn yn ymwneud â fy nhad. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â fi. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â’n hystafell gudd.” Mae Ein Hystafell Gudd yn gofiant agos atoch a chyffrous sy’n archwilio bywyd tad yr awdur—dyn a luniwyd gan galedi, cariad dwfn at ffotograffiaeth, a brwydr gydol oes â salwch meddwl. Ar draws chwe phennod, mae’r naratif yn olrhain ei daith o blentyndod anodd mewn cartref plant amddifad yn Alexandria i’w gyfnod ym Myddin yr Aifft, lle darganfu ffotograffiaeth fel allfa artistig a modd o gysur. Trwy lens bersonol iawn, mae’r awdur yn myfyrio ar wydnwch ei dad, y stigma sy’n ymwneud â salwch meddwl, a rôl celf wrth gadw cof a hunaniaeth. Mae ffotograffiaeth, a fu unwaith yn ffynhonnell poen i’w dad, yn dod yn llwybr iachâd i’r awdur."
Bydd gennym ni hefyd ddetholiad gwych o stondinau llyfrau lluniau.
Mwy i'w gyhoeddi'n fuan!
