TRY — Amir Habibi

✦ Finalist for the ADAGP Prix Révélation Livre d’artiste 2026 ✦

“I tried.”

To be a mother, to be a father, to love, to work, to create, to succeed, to care, to be alone, to be with. All at once.

A text that piles up the attempts of a lifetime, and previously unseen photographs that form an unranked wandering.

Text and images respond to each other without illustrating one another, and ask a simple question: how do we look, sort, remember?

TRY is also an object to handle: a book that tries, and that you try.
