Livre d'artiste basé sur quatre séries d'œuvres qui explorent divers phénomènes et histoires dans la région du Kerala.
"Native ball" is a collection of four bodies of works set in Kerala. A compendium on various phenomena, it brings together moments from alternative histories of a culture and region, some of which are based on commonalities that may be odd but significant.
It puts forward the breakdown of plans, inescapable outcomes, and the future as a space ripe for speculation. Comprising 43 colour plates and 33 texts in both English and Malayalam, the book is a record of a people and place—filled with overlaps, intersections, insights, and misunderstandings.
Anup Mathew Thomas (né en 1977 au Kerala) est un artiste indien basé à Berlin dont l'œuvre se déploie essentiellement au travers de la photographie.
