| There is only the truth within each moment by Shantala Fels Zoom In Photography invites you to a Private View on Thursday 23rd of June 2011 6pm to 9pm © Shantala Fels 2010 Zoom In Photography continues its exciting exhibition programme for 2011 with German photographer Shantala Fels. With this series, Shantala explores her Indian roots and tries to find out how they affect her identity. In 2010, she stayed with her family in Delhi and explored the city and its everyday-life with her twin-lens reflex camera. In-motion blur and angular points of view underline the momentary nature of her photographs and emphasise her personal observations. This series show single moments that controvert each other, change constantly and are always new - like identity and life itself. "I came to India to explore what my father’s native country means to me. Sometimes I felt that I belong to India and sometimes I felt like a stranger. After some time I became aware that ‘the agony and the beauty of living in India is just this, that one is challenged every day to look at life not in absolutes but in relatives.’ I discovered that there is only the truth within each moment. This is my truth about India." Exhibition runs from: Friday 24th of June – Thursday 4th of August 2011 Opening Hours: Mon - Sat: 10am to 6pm Late night Tuesdays until 9pm Sun by appointment only Shantala is a photographer from Hanover, Germany with a background in Communication Design. This year she is graduating from Goldsmiths University of London where she undertakes an MA in Photography and Urban Cultures. Based on her interest in questions of identity and sociological theories, her past works include Freudenhaus, a social documentary series about the life of a brothel in Germany and Guest a series about living and dying in a hospice. Not just the photographs, but also their presentation is an important part of her work and is designed to open up space for the interpretations and associations of the viewer. Shantala has been widely exhibited and published in Germany; this is her first solo exhibition in the UK.
