This exhibition, supported by ICCD Rome, explores AlUla’s desert as a living archive, sculpted by wind and water, layered with memory, and alive with meaning. Featuring early 20th-century photographs by Tony André and contemporary cinematic works by Saad Tahaitah, it invites viewers to reflect on how the desert has been seen, documented, and reimagined across generations.
A French photographer active in the early 20th century, Tony André's images - now exhibited in Saudi Arabia for the first time - offer historical insight into desert terrains and the aesthetic of early documentation.
A Saudi-based filmmaker, Saad Tahaitah presents a contemporary response to AlUla’s terrain through experimental film. Created during a residency drawing on local archives, his work blends memory, image, and imagination to reinterpret the desert today.
Parking is available at Old Town North Parking; the venue for Not Deserted: AlUla's Archives in Movesment is in AlJadidah Arts District - a short walk, buggy or bus ride away.
