Combine the art of two photographers to display their views on India
While the Indian photographer Tarun Chopra plastic presents the richness of their country, with some story, his fellow Mexican Graciela Iturbide "leads us by brokers magic to discover new ways to see our environment," said Mauricio Maillé, curator of Visions of India, the exhibition opened last night at Casa Lamm Cultural Center (Avenida Alvaro Obregon 99, Colonia Roma), ending on September 26.
The sample came from a trip to Azcárraga Fastlicht Sharon to India, where he met Chopra, "extraordinary communicator of magic of their country." He drew attention, however, the lack of a moving photographic material. The artist explained, in perfect Spanish, because he lived in Spain: "When it comes to art is always painting and sculpture. The picture looks like a poor cousin in the world of art in India so far. The wealthy in my country is on the rise and India is in the interest of being a major world economy. I think that gradually come to take pictures fashion as art. "
Maillé said that less than 200 years that has the picture fade in a country with a rich heritage of both roots and tradition.
Chopra began taking pictures as a hobby, then went up to books and to develop a style. "When undertaking a project, define the guidelines. All my books are my inspiration. For example, taking pictures in black and white because I seemed artistic. When I started to do a book of black and white, I realized that I had enough material in my file. "
At present, Chopra made a project that brings the world to photograph the religious leaders, who no longer work to explain why there are so many conflicts if all religions talk of compassion.
The definition of time does not exist for him, because in India we do not work well. In the West there is the idea that all life is governed by time, but life is for us to define the time. As we do not live for the time we must make our own time. There are more calm. "
Maillé proposed Chopra complement the vision of a lens of Iturbide, "perhaps the most important photographer with whom we have at present," which has made several trips to India. In October, she received the Hasselblad Award, considered the Nobel Prize for photography.
Iturbide has "the virtue of putting pictures in front of us widen our visions, our spirit, we open many horizons of understanding and visual poetry."
In parallel to the exhibition will be a series. Chopra will speak on India 360, day 9, and the sacred cow and other stories from India, 11; Ambassador Graciela de la Lama will on India: history and religion, 17, and Alda Carrasco on Plastic India: Rites and trends, 23, all of 19 hours. Will be offered yoga classes, discipline was born in India, and Chopra's books will be on sale at the bookstore.
