The year 2021 marks the 195th anniversary of the first successful experimentation with photography as a novel form, and patented as a new invention by the French practitioner, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, in 1827. To honour this occasion, Unsealed Chamber: The Transient Image is presenting four contemporary artists working with both analogue and digital methods.
Through newly made productions, Aparna Nori, Arpan Mukherjee, Indu Antony and Philippe Calia explore a sense of creative hybridity by melding both manual techniques and new media to reflect on questions of self, society, ecology and representation.
The exhibition seeks to exhume an original art-form, its appropriation, manipulation and evolution in the transient object. Working with multiple surfaces, like glass, paper and cloth, they undertake an introspective journey to different paradigms of reality. When: October 14-November 3, 6 pm
Where: Galerie Romain Rolland, Alliance Française de Delhi, 72 Lodi Estate, New Delhi
