Arun Kuplas

Born: 1967, Chandigarh, IndiaProfession: PhotographerResidence: New York CityIn my work I focus on the aesthetic qualities that are found within objects, architectural structures and people. The historical background of these diverse entities creates a common platform. Appearances are shaped and reshaped by significant political and social events. The presented photography projects examine the aspects of layered traces of objects and people. The duality of the process of creation versus destruction composes the theme of my photographs.

Graduated in 1994 from the Lette-Verein School of Photography in Berlin, Germany.
