Presenting two works from Personal Archives: An Exercise on Emotional Archaeologies (2021), Modele 1 and Modele 2 are glass plate, photographic sculptures from a larger series of multiple stand-alone and stacked structures, which configure and re-present visual references excised from different photographic archives that Kala reviewed: her personal images, the French social-historical glass-plate archive of Montparnasse photographer Marc Vaux (1895-1971) and the journal, Revue Noire (1990-2000) a French bilingual pioneering contemporary art and photography publication that focused on practices from the Africa continent and diaspora, and Mozambican photographer Ricardo Rangel's (1924-2009) archive. Kala’s absorption and interweaving of these ostensible disparate archives, recasts a new archival narrative, a logic materialised for viewers that she wants them to experience, based on her search to connect with well-known and underseen figures and events.
