EVENT DESCRIPTION
Renowned photographer Palani Mohan invites you to embark on a mesmerising journey through his latest photo book and exhibition, titled ‘Watch with Wonder.’ The exhibition will be held at Blue Lotus Gallery from November 17th to December 10th, 2023. Palani Mohan’s captivating black and white images, taken from various corners of the world, weave together a poetic narrative of his awe-inspiring travels.
Palani Mohan shares his perspective on the collection, stating, “This book of images is a personal look at places of silence, stillness, and space where I have found peace and meaning. It is a search for the magic and the miracle that lie within the smallest things that surround us. Such moments are just waiting for us to pull at the reins, stop, and take notice.”
Born in India, raised in Australia, and currently based in Hong Kong, Palani Mohan credits travel as a crucial element in his three-decade-plus career. The newly released book: ’Watch with Wonder’, published by Hong Kong University Press, features 107 duotone images, each capturing evocative moments of hushed revelation, spread across the book’s 140 pages. Prepare to embark on a captivating yet calming journey across our planet.
As you turn the pages, you will find yourself immersed in the magnificent Louvre Museum in Paris, exploring Cambodia’s awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, traversing the desolate wilderness of the Arabian Peninsula’s Empty Quarter, joining tribal gatherings in Papua New Guinea, and contemplating the timeless, preternatural otherness of Kashmir’s Dal Lake, the Australian Outback, northern India’s lunar-like Ladakh region and even Hong Kong’s waters.
The exhibition at Blue Lotus Gallery will show a selection of prints as seen in the book.
