SID’S WORLD

Innocence and wonder meets the ‘real world’ that might threaten the very nature of free will. shot when i quit advertising to follow photography and films, using my son, Sid’s toys. 












BEAUTY AND TRUTH

currry leaves, cactus, local rooster: things from the backyard. if we soak them in bioluminence, do they become ‘exotic’? 








EYES OF THE DEAD (ARE MORE ALIVE)

Portraits of a bunch of mounted animals from a gallery. Their glass eyes long to tell us something. 










I WISH WE WERE FRIENDS

a bunch of poodles and ponies travel from the US to India, to be distributed as gifts. as they travel, cozy in the shrink-wrapped intimacy, they become friends.
now one by one they depart. leaving the last poodle (or is it a pony) in total agony. 











CURIOUS FRAMES
absurdity, politics, dreaming
 




SIMLA SPECIAL

sid likes wax figures. i like mountain and flowers. his monuments vs my monuments. a set of dyptchs. shot in simla. 









IN-DREAMS

images from my in-dreams solo show. 








INTERNATIONAL CULTURE - AN INTRODUCTION 

the Birla Planetarium showcases how people across the world look like. once well received and maintained, now they look like voodoo dolls.
