What: Fine art photographer Rahul Gajjar is showcasing his latest body of work, titled The Fused Garden, which is in continuation of his project started in 2004. It includes 53 recently executed works, inspired by Kirlian photography, a process from the 1930s (also called electrography) that captures on film the natural iridescence that envelopes living plants. This cannot be seen by the naked eye. Electrography explored it by passing a low-voltage current through the plant and capturing the coloured aura around the plant that the current briefly lighted up. Gajjar has been able to achieve almost the same results by applying film and digital technologies that help capture the energy flow image. These works are being shown in Mumbai for the first time.
