The Song of Light - An Analog odyssey through Rajasthan opened at the Rajasthan International Centre (RIC) last evening.
The exhibition of over sixty photographs spanning sixty years has been curated out of the oeuvre of Jaipur-based jeweller and acclaimed photographer Sudhir Kasliwal.
Entirely shot on film, the show offers an experiential tour into the lives of the people and culture of Rajasthan. The exhibition includes some rare Cibachrome prints and 'Reel', a documentary on the self taught photographer's remarkable artistic journey.
The exhibition was inaugurated by the Former Envoy to Germany, Indonesia, and Ethiopia, Ambassador Gurjit Singh; Former Envoy to the UK, Belgium, and the European Union, Ambassador Gaitiri I Kumar; Former Envoy to Kuwait and Former Director General, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), Ambassador Satish Mehta and Director of the RIC, Nihal Chand Goel.
The 3 day immersive photo show takes the viewers into a bygone era to experience the lingering old world charm of Rajasthan, come alive. A master magician behind the camera, Sudhir Kasliwal unearths sights and stories, lost to the sands of time, resurrecting them through these invaluable photographs. The exhibition comes just days after internationally acclaimed photographer Steve McCurry inaugurated Sudhir Kasliwal's Darkroom 2.0. The state-of-the-art Darkroom 2.0 will offer experiences and workshops on the processes of analog photography to photographers and photography enthusiasts.
The exhibition will continue at the RIC on April 18 and 19th, between 11 am and 7 pm
