Untitled No. 3958

Project: Quarantine Still-Lifes (2020-21) Taking a cue from the long-term portrait project, ‘Eros And Its Discontents’ (2017-2022) which explores the lives and desires of individuals from the Indian LGBTQIA+ community; this ‘Quarantine Still-Lifes’ project evolves around studio still-lifes that the photographer made in confinement during quarantine and multiple lockdowns in Kolkata, India. The artist contemplates themes of isolation, spirituality, anxiety, desperation, and queerness during the COVID-19 crisis. #quarantinestilllife #liminalspaces #breastironing #genitalmutilation #controllingwomensbodies #matriarchywillchoose #toxicmasculinity #genderqueer
