Four Lakes in Neither Magazine ~ published by Loose Joints
~ Founders / Editors Sunil Shah & Bharat Sikka
NO GRAND NARRATIVE
Emerging out of the recent pandemic, Neither
is interested in creating a space for new and experimental photographic
practices emerging out of South Asia and from the diaspora. However,
our ultimate aim is to avoid labels based on region, nation or identity,
and so this publication is neither this, nor that. It offers no
grand narrative and instead foregrounds the photographic. It welcomes
creative production from everywhere and reflects life as its producers
and contributors experience it. What is common to all its constituent
parts is a commitment to visual language and the way this forms our
understanding of the world.
In this first issue of Neither, you will find fifteen artists
working with the medium: Millo Ankha, OlgaƧ Bozalp, Philippe Calia,
Tenzing Dakpa, Kapil Das, Charlie Engman, Devashish Gaur, Abhishek
Khedekar, Katrin Koenning, Anu Kumar, Sathish Kumar, Akshay Mahajan,
Kaamna Patel, Miraj Patel and Lorenzo Vitturi. Written contributions are
from Muna Gurung, Raghav Pasricha, Sunil Shah and Alisha Clytus Sett. Neither is the creation of Bharat Sikka, edited by Sunil Shah and has been designed by Loose Joints Studio.
