Picture that perfect
Vijay Times (Lifestyle Edition)
"As the realms of possibilities advance with the world increasingly becoming a smaller place, it is rather ironic that we seem to be getting ever so isolated", Shibu Arakkal.
Shibu Arakkal
'been there' is a travel retrospective and shows a selection of Shibu Arakkal's travel photography over the years, from all over the world. It is a snapshot of how a twenty two year old perceives the world as he steps into its realm. Through 'been there', he shares some of his moments with us and explains his photographs with zest.
If people, think of it to be another set of picture perfect postcards, I hope that they would take some time out so they would see what their naked eye would have missed.
The colors in all the photographs have been underplayed as if to make sure nothing stands out. They are pictures through the eyes of someone eager to capture the moment.
The picture of a fan (Macau 2000) at first instance appeared to be just another fan, but on second glance you could see the details in clarity. The offset fan was colored in different shades of beige and each shade was distinct from the other without blending in. One wonders why it was offset?? The pillar from Greece 2002, pierced the sky reaching out towards the clouds and the palace in Rajasthan 2000, looked like they were made from real gold.

The pictures are not trying to make a statement; they are reminiscent of a young man's perception of the world. What stands out are clarity, freshness, and subtlety, its unexplainable, you have to see it to feel it.

'Been there' is on exhibit till the 3rd of April 2005 at Gallerie Sara Arakkal, between 11am to 7pm after which the show will travel to Mumbai.
