Adnan is undertaking a practice-based PhD, 'the author vs. the collective', that focuses on the influence of digitalisation and the new forms of (documentary-) film production, as well as the author's rights in relation to collective authorship. This is interdisciplinary research that combines sources and expertise from the fields of media and communication, computer studies and architecture.

The practical outcome will be a streaming online database drawing on the current regeneration process centred around the Laban dance centre in Deptfort, London. The databse will serve as a platform for artists and filmmakers and will store and share the documentation of the regeneration development over the next three years.
