Event Description : EXHIBITION "The Surface of Things : Photography in Process” A group photography show

Artists : Uzma Mohsin, Srinivas Kuruganti, Sukanya Ghosh, Edson Dias

The experimentation with a light sensitive surface eventually led Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1765-1833), inventor of the first photograph - a heliograph - to create a copy-image of a view through his window in Le Gras in 1826. Almost 200 years hence, to usher a festival of photography during Bonjour India 2017-18, this exhibition invokes the birth of an analogue visual form through a process-oriented exhibit, featuring the works of 4 contemporary artists - Uzma Mohsin, Srinivas Kuruganti, Sukanya Ghosh and Edson Dias.
The conversation about the medium here veers from usage to intention; practice to purpose, initiated through the interstitial territory of memory making wherein technology, the archive and history meld into a contemporary composite, a layered form. Montage, multiple exposures and the social documentary mode together challenge the claim of any one voice, or singular reading. An intended departure from linearity and narrative hence marks their incremental and studied approaches - lives reconstructed through images by seeing them repeatedly disclose, fragment after fragment, detail after detail, a projection of self as a reference to the world.

The exhibition then addresses the analogue head on, and questions its materiality by exploring ways of bracketing, embodying, editing and augmenting ones own practice, wherein the irony and prophesy lies in how the digital has invited a modern means of production into its own evolution and critique.
