What: Artist Pierre Legrand had transformed multi-talented writer and danseuse Anuradha Majumdar’s poetry into something ethereal — between words, matter and light — in 1999 in an exhibition titled, Light Matter. Recently released, the eponymous book traces Legrand’s journey that started with his collaboration with Majumdar’s poetry.
