'Chandigarh: An Approach'

A photographic exhibition by Maja Weyermann on the architecture of Chandigarh and the work of Le Corbusier. [dated March 2008]

Maja Weyermann's preoccupation with Chandigarh urged her to visit the city. Her photographic work that Le Corbusier's city inspired explores how a foreign culture is understood beyond the cliche and the stereotype. The work portrays a perception of space very much her own, but what she also attempts to do is to understand how specific cultural practice can influence these interpretations. Time, light and perspective also determine these renderings drawing the onlooker into spaces that one sees, perhaps for the first time.

Maja Weyermann's photographs on the architecture of Chandigarh and the work of Le Corbusier will be exhibited in Chandigarh and New Delhi as per the schedule below:
