Philippe Calia
Philippe Calia is an artist, photographer and filmmaker, based in Bangalore, India. Artist Statement: “My works are set within a protean documentary practice, privileging rather long temporalities and mixing primarily photography, video and text. Interweaving themes of memory, time and history, my processes involve vernacular and residual documents - in the sense of a debris found at the edge of the archive - and integrate them into my own production via collage and montage techniques. Questions of preservation, perception and commemoration are central to my approach."
