Karthik Subramanian lives and works between the real and the imagined. As a child, Karthik travelled frequently from his life in the city to his grandparents in the village, learning to see the world as it moved through the window of a bus or a train. Several years later, when he travelled to photograph the place where the river Ganga joins the Bay of Bengal, the scenes of the shifting land in front of him mixed inseparably with the lingering memories of the landscape through the moving windows. At this slippery edge between water and land began Karthik’s preoccupation with still and moving images; memory and history; the end and the beginning.
