Exhibition 'Sohrab Hura - Spill' in Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography
This autumn, the oeuvre of the Indian photographer, film-maker, writer and curator Sohrab Hura (1981, Chinsurah, West Bengal, India) unfolds itself in the galleries of Huis Marseille. Over the last fifteen years Hura’s work has evolved from a documentary approach to an experimental, confrontational, and even sceptical attitude towards the medium of photography. Through photo series, video works, installations and interventions in the museum spaces, Hura immerses the visitor in his vision, in which various elements are not separate but rather blend into one another.
Spill offers an overview of the different series and projects on which Sohrab Hura has worked over the last fifteen years. The exhibition can be seen as an accordion book, Hura suggests: his works form pages, which can be examined one by one, but their power lies in the possibility of seeing them in relation to each other when the book is fully unfolded. It then becomes clear that form and aesthetic in Hura’s work may change, but that important themes recur throughout his oeuvre.
