Bringing together several bodies of photographic work and an installation, "Bodies of Earth", a solo exhibition by artist and photographer Jayesh Sharma, explores the relationship between bodies, landscapes, memory and time.
At the heart of the exhibition is "Kushti", a photographic series documenting the traditional Indian practice of wrestling in earthen arenas. Through these intimate images, Sharma explores the body as a living archive, shaped by ritual, physical contact and the passage of time.
My deepest thanks to @anurag.kanoria of @ninefishartgallery, representing Jayesh Sharma (@jayeshsharma.n01), and @camelia__mohebi of @thesimacollective for bringing me along on this adventure.

What happens when the gaps in history become spaces for imagination?
The exhibition “In the Bellies of the Rocks” brought together a new body of work by artist Ayman @zedani, developed through several years of research across AlUla and northwestern Arabia.
Drawing on archaeological observation, mythology, material evidence and imagined narratives, Zedani constructs a form of parafictional archaeology in which artefacts and fragments hover between historical evidence and pure invention.
Rather than treating history as a settled account, the exhibition approaches it as an evolving narrative, continually reshaped by landscape, memory and imagination. Here, what remains is never simply a relic of the past: it becomes a point of departure for imagining what history might still hold.
Presented by @artsalula, the AlUla Contemporary Art Museum and AFALULA @horizonalula, in collaboration with @aaaahhhparisinternationale, as part of the AlUla Cultural Season in Paris, “In the Bellies of the Rocks” was presented from October 19th to 24th, 2026.

What if the landscape held more than one version of history?
In this two-channel video installation commissioned for the AlUla Contemporary Art Museum, Ayman Zedani combines archival footage, 3D scans and speculative narratives to introduce Daraj, an entirely fictional ancient script. Reimagining AlUla as a place where different temporalities and realities converge, the work unsettles the boundaries between myth, archaeology and fiction, opening up new ways of relating to the past.

How do you build a museum before its doors even open?
This was the question at the heart of “Future Archaeologies: Commissioning, Artists and the Making of a Museum”, a conversation held at @aaaahhhparisinternationale with @cpestana, Head of the AlUla Contemporary Art Museum, and @anna.hiddleston, Curator of International Projects at the @centrepompidou.
Taking Ayman @zedani’s “In the Bellies of the Rocks” as a starting point, we explored how artistic commissions, research and long-term collaborations can begin shaping a museum’s identity well before its permanent architecture exists. Here, the museum is being built through its programme as much as through its walls, with artists playing an active role in defining what the institution might become.
But building a museum from the ground up also means asking difficult questions. Whose histories are being told? How can an institution take root in its own cultural context rather than simply reproduce an imported model? And how can it remain a space not only for cultural transformation, but also for critical debate?
As Andrea Fraser’s work on institutional critique reminds us, the question is not only what kind of institution we want to build, but also what values we choose to institutionalise.
Thank you to Paris Internationale for hosting this conversation, and to Candida and Anna for the exchange.

Meet the artist 🖐️
Saudi artist @aymanzedani explores the future of the Arabian Peninsula through the relationship between humans and nature, in immersive installations that weave together fact and fiction, spiritual ecology and science fiction.
His work has been shown at the Istanbul Biennial and the Sharjah Biennial (2025), the Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah (2023) and Desert X AlUla (2022), and he received the inaugural Ithra Art Prize in 2018.
Born from his research during the AlUla Artists Residency Programme, « In the Bellies of the Rocks » is built around Daraj, a fictional script invented by the artist. It will be presented by the AlUla Contemporary Art Museum, @artsalula and @horizonalula at the entrance of @aaaahhhparisinternationale from 20 October.

Rencontre avec l’artiste 🖐️
L’artiste saoudien @aymanzedani interroge l’avenir de la péninsule Arabique à travers le lien entre l’humain et la nature, dans des installations immersives qui entremêlent fait et fiction, écologie spirituelle et science-fiction.
Son travail a notamment été présenté à la Biennale d’Istanbul et à la Biennale de Sharjah (2025), à la Biennale des arts islamiques de Djeddah (2023) et à Desert X AlUla (2022), et il a été en 2018 le premier lauréat de l’Ithra Art Prize.
Né de ses recherches dans le cadre du programme de résidence d’artistes d’AlUla, « In the Bellies of the Rocks » s’articule autour de Daraj, une écriture fictive inventée par l’artiste. L’œuvre sera présentée par le Musée d’art contemporain d’AlUla, @artsalula et @horizonalula à l’entrée de @aaaahhhparisinternationale dès le 20 octobre.

21 Oct 2026
In « In the Bellies of the Rocks », artist Ayman @zedani turns to the landscapes of AlUla and north-western Arabia to imagine what remains unknowable about the past, and what might still lie ahead.
Drawing on archaeological fieldwork, archives, 3D surveys and speculative fiction, Zedani invents Daraj, a fictional writing system that emerges as the trace of a lost form of knowledge. Here, rocks, inscriptions and ancient structures are not silent remnants of history, but active repositories of memory, transformation and possible worlds.
Rather than reconstructing a lost past, Zedani works within the gaps between evidence and imagination. Science, mythology and science fiction converge in an unstable territory where the landscape itself becomes a storyteller, and where the boundary between artefact, fictional evidence and contemporary artwork begins to dissolve.
At Paris Internationale, a two-screen film unfolds alongside a new constellation of sculptures and spatial interventions, commissioned for the occasion. Together, they transform the entrance to the fair into an immersive threshold between deep time and imagined futures.

Paris Internationale, 187–198 quai de Valmy, Paris 10th
Presented by Arts AlUla, the AlUla Contemporary Art Museum, AFALULA @horizonalula and @aaaahhhparisinternationale, as part of the AlUla Cultural Season in Paris.

For In the Bellies of the Rocks, Saudi artist Ayman Zedani approaches AlUla’s landscape as a living archive, bringing together fieldwork, 3D scans, archival images and imagined histories.
At its centre is Daraj, a fictional script whose name means “stairs”. Tombs and rocks become thresholds, connecting what has been preserved with what can still be imagined.
The work began during his AlUla Artists Residency and was first shown at Arduna, an exhibition offering a first glimpse of the future AlUla Contemporary Art Museum. Now it travels to Paris, where the two channel film is joined by new sculptures created for Paris Internationale.
Part of AlUla’s Cultural Season in Paris, 19 to 24 October.

What connects a Newfoundland fishing community, the hidden life of lichen, hybrid corals and speculative futures? In Shezad Dawood’s practice, seemingly distant worlds are never quite as far apart as they appear.
A few days ago in London, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Shezad at @jumeirahcarltontower for a conversation about research, ecology, materiality and the power of art to reveal the connections that often escape us.
Part of @jumeirah’s ongoing cultural programme, the encounter also marked the third year of our partnership with @lapada_association, extended this time beyond the fair and into the hotel itself. Two paintings, Nets 3 and The Trouble with Lichen 5, are on view in the lobby, while Hybrid I, a small bronze sculpture exploring coral adaptation and scientific research, can be discovered in Room 901.
From the intricate relationships between species to the speculative worlds of his Leviathan cycle, Shezad’s work resists neat boundaries between art and science, fiction and evidence, human histories and more-than-human worlds.
It was a pleasure to explore these questions together, and to consider how hospitality spaces might become places not only to encounter art, but to think, exchange and see differently.
Thank you to Shezad, his producer Miranda Sharp, LAPADA, its director Elizabeth Shanks, and the Jumeirah team, @jusoyez , @hannahlouise.lee, Joséphine Canchel & Andrew Booth for making this conversation possible.

On October 7th, in Mumbai, I had the pleasure of joining Between Here and Elsewhere: Art in Transit, a panel discussion at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) exploring the representation of Indian artists at the Venice Biennale and the broader conditions of international artistic circulation.
How do artists move between cultural ecosystems without being reduced to representatives of a place? What responsibilities do curators and institutions have in making these encounters meaningful? And what remains once the exhibition is over?
International visibility matters, but it cannot be the endgame. The real work lies in building relationships, opening up new conversations and creating opportunities that outlast the moment of exposure.
The point is not simply to move artists from “here” to “elsewhere”, but to rethink the connections between the two.
Thank you to @ngma_delhi, @basu.foundation, @mumbai_iic & @ministryofculturegoi for such a great initiative, and to my fellow speakers @jeanblanchaert, @sumighose, @sudarshanstudio, @somaiya, toshybose & our moderator @sattybatty for such a generous and thought-provoking exchange.
