Suvra Kanti Das is a photojournalist whose works refer to the genres of romanticism, grand-guignolesque, black humor and symbolism, that seems he creates work through labor-intensive processes which can be interpreted explicitly as a personal exorcism ritual. In fact, he is inspired by a nineteenth-century tradition of works, in which an ideal of ‘Fulfilled Absence’ was seen as the pinnacle.
His work doesn’t reference any recognizable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, he uses references and ideas that are so integrated into the process of the composition of the work that they may escape those who do not take the time to explore how and why these images haunt you, like a good film, long after you’ve seen them.
