India is a country with an ancient and extremely multi-layered culture. The diversity of cultures and religions is manifested in a topography of architecture and sculptures that is difficult to survey. Nicolaus Schmidt presents this diversity in highly focused photographs. His book
INDIA TECTON that accompanies the Exhibition reveals references and kinships between artifacts from various religions and epochs. The photographs also reflect colonial domination and international cultural relationships, as well as social contrasts. What emerge are standalone artworks that simultaneously highlight the architectural characteristics of buildings and artifacts from antiquity to the modern era.
Inauguration: Saturday May 13, 2023, 6.30 p.m. at the Bhavan
With a walk through by the artist
On display: May 14 to 27, 2023, 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.
All are welcome!
