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.”

As the year closes, we pause to acknowledge what you make possible. The conversations, the images, the trust shared across distances — all of it forms the quiet structure of this community. You show us, again and again, how visual language can hold memory, question the present, and imagine what comes next.

Thank you for contributing your work, your time, and your belief in the value of artists supporting artists. Whether you joined us through a spotlight, an interview, a story, or the book, you are part of this growing archive of care and curiosity.

We wish you a peaceful holiday season and a new year guided by connection and the space to keep making, looking, and thinking deeply. With gratitude for all that you bring to this shared endeavour, we look forward to what we will build together next.

Big hugs from The Pictorial List Team
Karen, Karin, Bill, John, Ibi & Mel

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.”

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.”

presents ANALOGICAL LIMBO
•
in conversation with // NICOLA CAPPELLARI
@nicola.cappellari
•
In Nicola Cappellari’s work, the photograph is never an endpoint. It does not resolve into certainty or narrative but remains suspended, waiting. His project Analogical Limbo inhabits this threshold, where the photographic act becomes less about representation than about suggestion, less about fixing the world in a frame than about leaving it open for interpretation. Nicola shows us that meaning is never fixed but continually renewed each time a photograph is seen. In this way, his work is not only an archive of images but a living conversation.

“Film is in fact an analogical limbo where I can slow down and imagine. It embraces my good intentions and even my less good intentions.”

presents THREADS OF MOROCCAN LIFE
•
in conversation with // KAT PUCHOWSKA
@katpuchowska
•
The question of visibility, understood as whose lives are acknowledged and by what visual means, lies at the center of Kat Puchowska’s long-term project. Between 2017 and 2024, Kat undertook repeated journeys across Morocco. Over these seven years, she has built an extensive archive of photographs that draw attention away from the language of state-led progress and toward the modest yet vital rhythms of survival and creativity that sustained daily life in Morocco during this period.

“Travelling abroad opened my eyes to the diversity of human life — the differences and similarities between cultures fascinated me. Learning languages and spending time in other countries made me want to tell people’s stories.”

presents IT STARTED AS LIGHT… ENDED IN SHIVERS…
•
in conversation with // ANTON BOU
@spinningtosublime
•
In the work of Anton Bou, photography is both inquiry and exposure. He positions his images where identity is less fixed truth than shifting encounter. His series reflects this search, oscillating between intimacy and estrangement, sensation and fracture. What emerges is not documentation but a staging of disintegration — where presence dissolves into light and returns as shiver.

“I feel a growing hunger to turn more intentionally toward human subjects — to give more room to slowness, to duration, and to the subtle shifts that occur when an obsession is allowed to unfold over time.”

Laetitia Heisler transforms risk, memory, and the body into layered analogue visions — feminist rituals of seeing that reveal what endures, and what quietly emerges beyond visibility.
