Resurrecting the Forgotten: Unlocking the silent narratives

K. AZRIL ISMAIL

There is a silence inside an archive that is not of its absence. It is the silence of suspension; held mid-breath in another century's gaze, waiting for someone to notice they are still there.

This is where my work begins.

I am an artist based in Malaysia whose practice dwells in the friction between the archive and the presence, between what photography was made to fix, and what it could never quite hold.
