Photo Kegham de Gaza : une archive inachevable - Kegham Djeghalian Jr

Kegham Djeghalian Jr discovered red boxes buried in his father's home in Cairo. Filled with negatives, documents, and family mementoes, they reveal the life of his grandfather, Kegham Djeghalian Sr., a major figure in photography in Gaza, and bear witness to a broader memory of Gaza.

By rejecting dates and captions, he questions the nature of the archive and brings out the potential of “unmade archive”: an open, unfinished archive that resists closure.
