O Art Space at Asia Now Paris 2024 Chronicles Bound (Chronicles Bound)

“Chronicles Bound: A Visual and Literary Symphony” is an innovative exhibition that deconstructs and reimagines the book as a multidimensional artistic medium. At the heart of this experience are twelve A3-sized artworks, each a portal into the vision of a distinguished Pakistani artist. These pieces function as metaphorical pages and each artwork is paired with prose or poetry from a chosen Pakistani writer, printed on the reverse side. This juxtaposition creates a palimpsest of meaning, where text and image engage in a complex…

EXHIBITION: SHADOW PLAYS

EXHIBITION: SHADOW PLAYS

Shadows are created when a light source is blocked by an image; the resulting area is a dark shape or a silhouette.
