Archeo Logical Camera’ Opens at Design Ashram, Kozhikode

28 Jan 2026 CW Team

At the core of Archeo Logical Camera is a central inquiry into the role of photographs in archaeology. Conventionally treated as technical documentation supporting artefacts, photographs here are presented as artefacts in themselves, embedded with memory, absence, interpretation and time. The exhibition traces Mohamed A’s long engagement with archaeological sites, practices and landscapes, examining what is visible within a frame and what remains unseen—shadows, gestures, tools and traces that shape meaning.

The works move beyond a purely documentary approach, focusing instead on textures, silences and material memory. They navigate the space between scientific observation and poetic reflection, blurring the boundary between record and interpretation and positioning archaeology as a human engagement with time, continuity and imagination.

A notable moment for the exhibition was the visit of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, who viewed the works and engaged with the project’s ideas during her time in Kerala, creating a symbolic link between outward exploration of space and inward exploration of human history.

Speaking at the inauguration, K. Krishnaraj emphasised the value of interdisciplinary projects in expanding public engagement with archaeology beyond academic contexts. Mohamed A said, “With Archeo Logical Camera, I wanted to look at photographs not just as documents, but as objects that carry time, memory, and absence within them. Archaeology has always fascinated me because it is as much about what we imagine as it is about what we uncover.”

Presented by Aazhi Archives, the exhibition is housed at Design Ashram, Kozhikode, and invites viewers to reconsider how the past is encountered—as something continually re-seen, re-framed and re-understood.
