Zaaviye Art Gallery: An exhibition has been organized at India Habitat Center in Delhi from Tuesday, 26 November. The name of the performance is 'Jaaviye: A Dialogue Between the Seen and the Unseen'. Zaaviye is an Urdu word, which means corner or viewpoint. This exhibition started as a dream and now this exhibition is open to the people again in a grand way. This exhibition brings together imagination and poetry in a different style.
This exhibition organized in Delhi includes 32 photographs taken by Gaurav Bhardwaj, in which veteran lyricist Gulzar has given a poem to each photograph. Gaurav's photographs together create a reflective dialogue between word and image.
Through 'Jaaviye', Gaurav Bhardwaj wants the audience to experience the quiet resonance of emotion, thought and artistry, where poems give voice to photographs and photographs breathe life into poems. Like you can see some examples below. Here are three pictures captured by Gaurav's camera. Gulzar has tried to bring life to every picture through his pen.
Gulzar has written for this picture, “Life is a tragedy over long stretches of time.”
For this photo he has written, “How to see the fire inside them, the ones who breathe through chimneys.”
Gulzar wrote for this picture, “The Jamuna is flowing at your feet, is it possible that you can flow from that window and come to this window?” This exhibition is to run till December 1. You can enjoy this confluence of photographs and poems from 11 am to 7 pm. The full address of where this art gallery was organized is- Visual Art Gallery, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi.
