BIO

Abhishek Rajaram Khedekar (b. 1991, Dapoli) is a photographer based in New Delhi, India. He blends documentary styles with surrealist techniques, particularly collage, to give voice to those on the fringes of society. His work incorporates fictive elements that challenge dominant narratives, often rooted in historical research and archival imagery. By pushing the boundaries of photography, his projects are conceived as installations that incorporate sculpture and audio.
In 2022, Abhishek was awarded the Loose Joints x Mahler & LeWitt Studios 'Publishing Performance residency and publication prize for his project Tamasha. He published his first photobook, Tamasha, in 2023, and in 2024, he was the runner-up for the Aperture Portfolio Prize.
