Offset Pitara, Curated by Anshika Varma (Installation View)

Offset Pitara's showcase at Senate House during Chennai Photo Biennale 2019. The photographic document has stood over time to present itself as an unbiased, detached witness to a fact, often erasing the presence and sensitivities of the photographer behind it. The supposition of a final truth, a single uncompromising fact that can be captured has placed upon the photograph and its creator a great weight. Within this medium, the growth and emergence of the photo-book has allowed an authorship to the act of creation of personal independent voices. The Offset Pitara is keen to look at the multiplicities that exist within spheres of our public worlds, mass migrations, environmental impact on the human race and in personal associations of reality connected by memories and relationships.
