| Bio | Aratrika (b. 1996, IND) is a lens-based artist whose work uses photography as an act of looking; of slowing down in a fast-paced world. A self-taught artist making images using their phone camera, this phase of their work is a shift away from the speed and mass production of social media; of liberating their images from the screen. What stories do the photographs tell when they are treated as sacred, close, and private? |

Eros or the erotic is a mysterious, unknowable, unspeakable experience/Other. When you’re going about your mundane life and you see Light bend, shape, glint in a way that slows you down to look at it again. This moment of stillness and discovery changes the experience of time, temporarily providing a new way of seeing that cannot be rationalised – an encounter with the erotic. This experience is explored in two books set in two different places.
