Field Notes on Seeing by Soham Joshi

Field Notes on Seeing is a photography exhibition by Soham Joshi that explores the relationship between looking and truly seeing. Curated by Gurnoor Singh, with accompanying text by Srushti Sharma, the exhibition examines how an image can reveal meanings beyond its immediate visual content.

Beginning as a series of photographs created through an instinctive point-and-shoot process, the project gradually developed into a shared visual and textual narrative. By bringing together photographs, written reflections and tactile forms, the exhibition considers seeing as a personal, active and continually evolving experience.

Rather than treating photographs as isolated images, Field Notes on Seeing reconnects each image with the emotional landscape, circumstances and moment in which it was created. The work invites visitors to slow down, observe more carefully and reflect on the relationship between memory, perception and visual storytelling.
