Creativity, in collaboration with Museo Camera, presents Touching Light, an
exhibition marking 200 years of photography and reflecting on the material and
cultural history of analogue image-making.
Bringing together rare
19th-century photographic works alongside practices by contemporary Indian
photographers, the exhibition situates photography as both archive and ongoing
process. It traces the evolution of the medium while foregrounding its continued
relevance in a digital age.
The display includes early
photographic formats such as Carte de Visite by Bourne & Shepherd and
albumen prints, alongside historically significant series like Beauties of
Lucknow. These works are presented in dialogue with contemporary analogue practices,
creating a layered view of technique, subject, and intention.
