Photos By Abhradeep Ganguli
The idea was to document motion and moment in fragmentation, without interrupting the action, rather using observation as a tool; but not describing the activity, or the character. The photographs were taken in the year 2019, in a pre-pandemic era. We were not used to the overpowering effect of online lives. We were not used to the digital screens and living on islands. We could stay in the same room, without explaining ourselves, but observing each other’s fingers, skin and eyes; as of a map that we would use one day to travel across the islands, and we did not know about it then. The idea was to evoke a sense of immediacy implementing the features of digital photography and pixelated binaries.
