Mastering the Lens | Before and After Cartier-Bresson in Pondicherry
This exhibition is an attempt to trace the development of photography and the other allied arts in Pondicherry spanning the late 19th and early 20th Century. Drawn exclusively from the Alkazi Collection, at the core of this initiative is the un-published album of Cartier-Bresson, founder of Magnum Photos, who visited the Aurobindo Ashram in April 1950. A conscious effort has been made to bring out a non-linear, yet credible biography through the archive – of how Pondicherry has been witness to the development of a unique visual trajectory. The use of images as ‘evidence’ and ‘document’ creates a subtle interplay between historical context and artistic intent, a conceptual linking of mannerisms and tropes – those of landscape, architectural and portrait photography.
