4320 MINUTES WITHOUT COLOR
Moving between photography and narration, Mohammed Nahi traces a period in which sight could no longer be assumed as reliable, and attention shifted toward memory and duration.

SILENT BEAUTY

Tamara Quadrelli photographs the world by slowing down inside it. There is no rush to explain what we are seeing. The pleasure comes from staying with it.

presents DELTA DUSK by John Agather @johnagather
———————————————————————
“The Mighty Roots Music Festival is a testament to the creativity and love for this hallowed ground by an Oldham descendant, Howard Stovall. He decided to return to the land of his ancestors and honor the incredible art form born in this bend of the Mississippi Delta.”
———————————————————————
The Delta does not introduce itself. It reveals only fragments. John Agather moves through the streets of Clarksdale, Mississippi, tracing the heart of a town shaped by music and memory. Six miles out at Stovall Farms, on land once tied to Muddy Waters, the Mighty Roots Music Festival gathers musicians and families at the site of a former cotton gin. He walks, watches, and listens. The photographs sit beside his words, each carrying the same weight. Together they form a record shaped by time spent and ground covered. In this space, the Delta is not explained. It is simply allowed to speak.

presents SILENT BEAUTY by Tamara Quadrelli @tamaraquadrelli
———————————————————————
“In the silence of the afternoon, sunlight draws new shapes and reveals a beauty that makes no sound.”
———————————————————————
Tamara Quadrelli works from the simple joy of looking. Noticing how light slides across a wall, how a curtain shifts in the breeze, how color holds its own in the afternoon sun. In Silent Beauty, architectural elements become sites of formal inquiry, registering time and use without recourse to narrative or explanation. Corners cut across the frame. Walls open into broad planes of color. Openings appear briefly, then close again. The photographs remain anchored in the visual conditions of the built environment, where architecture, light, and color determine the terms of engagement.

presents SOLITUDE UNDER A TECHNIFIED SUN
•
Photography and story by Héctor Morón
@hector_allegorical
•
Héctor Morón interrogates the contemporary city as an engineered system in which human presence is increasingly subordinate to the infrastructures that regulate space, movement, and visibility. The urban environment is framed not as a site of lived experience, but as an operational field, structured by circulation, illumination, and technological continuity. Héctor’s images resist documentary function, instead positioning photography as a critical apparatus through which urban conditions are translated into symbolic form. He does this through the symbiosis of abstract and allegorical conceptual photography, which he calls Allegorical Abstractionism.

“I created Allegorical Abstractionism, a visual philosophy that redefines ICM through a Mediterranean Baroque sensibility — solar, emotional, and incandescent — where light becomes both matter and metaphor.”

presents 4320 MINUTES WITHOUT COLOR
•
Photography and story by Mohammed Nahi
@mohamed_nahi1
•
4320 Minutes Without Color is a photographic and written work by Algerian photographer Mohammed Nahi, shaped by a period when vision could no longer be trusted. Structured around a defined duration, the project does not describe loss or recovery but attends to an interval of uncertainty — where perception shifts and attention deepens. Developed after a temporary corneal injury, the work moves away from clarity and confirmation, embracing blur, tonal ambiguity, and hesitation. Black and white becomes a condition rather than a style, while time stretches and contracts. Mohammed’s own account is written from inside that suspended space, where seeing must be relearned moment by moment.

“I was no longer photographing what I saw. I was photographing what I could not fully trust.”

presents THE PAINTED VILLAGE OF LABANDHAR
•
Photography and story by Anjan Ghosh
@anjan.ghosh
•
In rural Bengal, the village of Labandhar has transformed its walls into a shared language. Through sustained engagement, Anjan Ghosh photographs the village not as a destination, but as a living cultural process shaped by tradition and shared authorship. His work shows art embedded in everyday village life, carried through collective participation. The story approaches photography as a form of listening, grounded in presence and continuity. In Labandhar, painting becomes memory, and the village speaks through its walls.

“Photography, for me, is an ethical commitment — to see with care, to represent with integrity, and to tell stories that endure beyond the moment they are captured.”

presents WHAT REMAINS, WHAT EMERGES
•
in conversation with // LAETITIA HEISLER
@laetitiaheisler
•
Through analogue experimentation Laetitia Heisler transforms risk into revelation, failure into possibility, and silence into visibility. Her darkroom is less a place where memory and material converge to create images that resist finality yet invite deep reflection. What remains is Laetitia’s devotion to the unseen: to those psychic and embodied realities often hidden, stigmatized, or overlooked. By bringing menstrual cycles, trauma, and vulnerability into visual culture, she reclaims photography as a feminist space of resistance and resonance.

“Making such subjects visible is not about provocation; it’s about dismantling taboos and expanding what we allow ourselves to see.”

presents WHAT WE ARE, WHAT WE DO
•
in conversation with // ALEJANDRO DAVILA
@leks_photo_time
•
Alejandro Davila’s photographic practice examines the relationship between identity and cultural visibility. Based in Pachuca, Mexico, he has developed a sustained engagement with the artists of his own community. His project engages with questions central to documentary practice: who is seen, how visibility is granted, and what forms of recognition are possible. Through careful attention to form, environment, and gesture, Alejandro articulates the way identity and practice are bound together. His work affirms that cultural value resides not only in celebrated achievements but in the daily, sustained labor of those who create.

“I believe it’s essential to show the world the hard work behind every artistic creation, so that the dedication, meaning, and beauty of these important works are truly understood.”
