Event Description : “India 50/50” a photography exhibition by Alejandro Gómez de Tuddo

Art statement: “India 50/50 is a travel art project comprised of 50 photographs taken over 50 days. “Every time I would feel I had the photograph of the day, I would take the first means of transportation available to whichever destination it would take me. Once arrived, I would start all over again up until the following day.” In so doing, a metaphoric map of contemporary India was generated. This iconographic and spatial journey was constantly at the threshold of the ancestral India we traditionally visualise, and of the newly-born world order continent which we will know. These 50 photographs are about many more journeys. First, we can follow Gomez de Tuddo’s wandering into the space of India. Then we can look at the artistic journey produced by each photograph which brings us into their very own technical trajectory. Finally, we are entering into the journey of the meaning of place. This explains why these photos are about India and not about India, insofar as they transcend the normal boundaries of the everyday by moving the activity of viewing from a transparent relationship of meaning and expression to a level in which meaning seems to be
there without the presence of subjectivity.” (Jean-Philippe Imert, Dublin City University).
