An aerial view of the spiral stairs too is an exciting exercise on composition. But composition has not been the main concern for Diwan here. Of course, everything you shoot is a composition but here the drama is not as much based on composition as on chiaroscuro. So, these are not portraits of the building but x-rays of portions.
Michel on the other hand is more sunny in his approach and has shot in and outside the Capitol Complex here. His emphasis is on the character of these buildings alongwith its inhabitants plus the interesting geometric composition. However, he creates a different kind of illusion by putting three pictures on the same panel like a triptych. The spectator is lost in the jungle of light and colours as he watches Michel’s amazing perspectives.
The large frames hung in the ground floor gallery as well as the top floor Café are a unique visual treat.
The exhibition ‘Regards Croises, Indo French Glances’ is on at the Alliance Francaise, Sector 36 till November 4.
