Curators

Aradhana Seth is a filmmaker, production designer, photographer, and installation artist. She does not confine her art to one medium, often cross-pollinating between them all. Aradhana is a creator of multiple worlds. In her film work, she does not merely build sets, she breathes life into the homes of her characters. She makes sure their imprints are found in every nook — from their flower vases to their toothbrushes to their wall coverings. She rebuilds old and new memories in her photo studio‘Merchant of Images’. Her living archive ‘The House of Enquiry’ is an ongoing art project that brings together the world of art, film, photography and history. As Art Director she has worked on London Has Fallen, The Darjeeling Limited, The Bourne Supremacy, and Stiff Upper Lips. Her production design credits include The Sweet Requiem, Chuskit, Angry Indian goddesses, Vara, West is West, Don, One Night with the King, Admissions, Easy, The Guru (India), Leela, Everybody says “I’m Fine!”, Karvaan, Earth and Fire. She has had solo shows at Gallery Chemould, Mumbai and Sunapranta, Goa. Her work has been exhibited with Andrea Anastasio at Istituto Italiano de Cultura, New Delhi, and at the Thyssen-Bornemisza ArtContemporary in Vienna, Grosvenor Gallery, London, Vadehra Art Gallery, and Khoj, New Delhi and ClarkHouse, Mumbai. She has made over 18 documentary films and co-produced a photography book India Mexico: ParallelWinds, featuring the work of Sebastiao Salgado, Graciela Iturbide, and Raghu Rai.
