Alliance Française de Pune brings to you a unique photo exhibition with the complex interplay of shadows and highlights.
Chandigarh has the unique attribute of being the only completely inhabited city designed by Le Corbusier. The Indian photographer Ajay Bhatia considers fortunate that this city has been his home for more than three decades now. During these years he has travelled to various parts of the world but when he returns there is always a sense of homecoming. The feeling of returning to a city, which is tranquil, beautiful and well ordered, where humanity, architecture and nature exist in close harmony.
Ajay Bhatia is a documentary photographer from Chandigarh engaged in architectural photography. Part of his work explores the contemporary spirit and lifestyle of modern cities. The present exhibition is inspired by his readings from ‘Towards a New Architecture’. In this book, Le Corbusier speaks about the great primary forms of geometry; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders and pyramids and says:
“Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light. Light and shade reveal them. The image of these forms is distinct and tangible within us, without ambiguity. It is for this reason that they are the most beautiful forms.”
