IMAGINED DOCUMENTS
Curated by Ravi Agarwal
Looking at the staged photograph that flits between reality and fiction, the show aims to focus on works that employ various sorts of strategies and techniques to tell their story. These could involve recreating scenes from memory, constructing elaborate sets, or telling personal encounters. Constructed sets may involve sculpted or found objects re-constructed and re-imagined as conceptual narratives.

THE MERCHANT OF IMAGES
Curated by Aradhana Seth
Artist and curator, Aradhana Seth’s mobile photo studio project ‘The Merchant of Images’ is an ongoing transnational conversation, led by the act of photography. Seth invites the public into the slower, more considered space of the old-fashioned photo studio, to a time when the visit was as memorable as the image that resulted from it. The starkly realist medium of photography was always subverted and playfully tweaked by the hand of fantasy—whether through fantastic backdrops, theatrically staged poses, or by hand painting the final image to infuse it with colour.
