A SEAT of power for more than a thousand years, the city-state of Delhi is a survivor of conquest and change. New Delhi the location for our third photographic street intervention, after Bangalore and Paris we head to Delhi.
THE LOCATION : Cannaught Place
Today, new money has conquered the inner circle of C.P making it the capital of a rapidly changing India. Spiraling rents have put a Swarovski shop where a small independent bookshop once stood, and in the same market, a shop called It’s All About Bling sells spangly earrings. Away from Retail chains that are fast taking over the early 20th-century colonnades of the outer ring we made the middle circle of Connaught Circus our gallery on the streets.
Armed with over 700 A3 photography prints we started near at the N Block and we pasted out way around the circle till we were back at Pallika Bazaar.

Cricket in Kashmir. But of course! And I realize that I could never picture that in my head, until now, thanks to Ishan Tanka!
The curious gift- lovely title, a great take on the monstrous beauty and the life that lives in it. (Side-note: The label above the slide-show is noted ‘Precious Gift’ which needs correction)
Stunning work from Lenskap and Lecercle as always!
What makes this effort so brilliant is that you have brought this work of art to the streets, to the masses. Great work, and thanks for sharing! I fancy that ‘trickle-up’ is what constitutes a real movement.
Super. How will you make sure you let us know in advance when you come to Bombay?
Lovely work guys. Very inspiring!
Really enjoyed the Delhi video. Wonderful to follow this process. Why didn’t y’all interview some local women? Or did women not stop to look at the pictures?
What if ppl/officials complain? and contact you for posting this stuff..Does that happen? Maybe not in big cities but if you tried in a smaller city?No?
