<p>On a warm April morning, the sight of four Sikh pilgrims at the Golden Temple, carrying potlis becomes symbolic of orange for photographer Shoba Jolly. Whereas, a sunset in the month of June in Cambodia inspires Krishan Sharma to capture the ‘Marmalade Skies’ - a photograph that he shot at Angkor Wat Temple, the hub of Buddhism. </p>.<p> <br /><br />CAMERAunLIMITED brings together different aspects of one colour through the photography exhibition ‘Tangerine Tales’. Celebrating the spirit of ‘orange’ colour. The exhibition takes into account the works of established as well as upcoming photographers to present their concept and perception of colour ‘orange’.<br /><br />The exhibition includes works of twelve artists - Ahmed Firoz, Ambika Sethi, Dinesh Sethi, Krishan Sharma, Lubna Sen, Marta Martinez, Nitin Arjun, Rajesh Ramakrishnan, Rohit Kumar, Shilpi Choudhuri, Shivani Punia and Shoba Jolly. <br /><br />Each photographer interprets the theme in a different manner. From a peeling orange wall depicting disturbed calmness to the explosion of vibrant expressions and colours of festival Holi; from abstracts in still life to surreal frames in motion, sunrise to sunset, the contradictions in the photographs may be obvious yet they are all tied by the common thread of colour.<br /><br />While Shivani captures the orange on autumn leaves, Ambika allows the orange to shine out of the droplet of water. For some artists, while the colour is a burst of energy, for others, it reflects the passion of a glowing fire. There are also some who associate it with the calmness of a sadhu’s robe and still others like Krishan Sharma who found the golden-orange robe wrapped around Buddha’s statue as striking. <br /><br />While Shoba captures the orange heart-shaped locks, which lovers hang on a bridge in London, Nitin Arjun’s eye is enamoured by a teenage boy wearing an orange shirt! All these represent the flamboyance, verve and rush of energy that is captured in this vivid colour which is considered pious in many religions.<br /><br />The exhibition is on display at Arpana Caur Academy of Fine Arts & Literature, Siri Fort Institutional Area till November 24.<br /></p>
