Exhibition in collaboration with India Photo Archive
Foundation
A collaborative photography project under
the aegis of Neel Dongre Awards/Grants for Excellence in Photography

archivist. The Foundation presents eleven photographers portraying different
interpretations of Gurgaon through distinctive artistic styles.
Excerpt - Concept note
“Like a chrysalis, Gurgaon, the Millenium
city is both phenomenon and enigma, and its continuing dilemmas and
complexities are explored in this exhibition. Eleven photographers, who vary in
age and outlook, bring different, sometimes irreverent, perspectives to their
images. Don’t look for prettily constructed narratives here; these
interpretations silently pose uncomfortable questions about identity and
development or unwrap layers where “everything conceals something
else” (quote - Calvino). But throughout the exhibition you are aware of
the power of the image to evoke response, almost forcing the viewer into the
frame as a participant and not just an observer.”
