Shankar Adiseshan

Influenced by abstract artists, my work is largely interpretive and metaphorical, often focused on environmental or social narratives. I try to express familiar things in unfamiliar ways. By doing so, I urge viewers to consider a new perspective and help create an emotive experience, rather than providing a specific focal point within the frame. I work with a variety of formats, including medium format, 35mm (film and digital) and Polaroid day lab — in color and black and white. Photographs are printed on archival digital media, from digital files, Polaroid transfers, negatives and chrome films.
