Blow.up, Bangalore’s second photographic street intervention

We wanted to take Photography to the streets.

Life is on display on the street — people walk, sit, stand, sleep, drive, drink, eat, piss, talk, mingle, fight, and love. The street is where groups collide and where people live and die and where all of society mixes with trash, smog, sewage, and the pulsating sounds of traffic.

We’ve put together a bunch of our pictures and will be bringing them to you, where you’re standing, on the street — where they’re easy to see:

From Koshy’s to Brigade Road. From Temptations to Blossom’s. On sidewalks and in alleys. Next to coffee shops and streetside panwallas. On postboxes and on blank walls. In between advertisements and PG accomodations. We’ll be standing there.

On the 5TH of August with double sided tape in hand we arrived on Church Street and plastered away. (thank you Kassia and Shilpa for helping !)

5 pieces of work were on show

Surely you’re Joking Mr. Mahajan

Other Ramdom Work.

We pasted them on the whitewashed wall out side Coconut Grove (thank you Arvindam), on the transformer behind Barton Center, next to the Pani Puri wallah ahead of queens and next to the name on Rice Guy.

The good students at Srishti – came and put some pictures up as well

Here is what it looked like -
