“Shiva Blues” is a personal vision born from the vibrant roads of North India, where every human encounter becomes a treasure. Anne Garde’s lens captured the essence of Rajasthan’s sandy hot roads, immortalizing men and women akin to divine beings Through the lens of a Hasselblad camera, loaded with 120-6X6 analogic film, Anne creates a unique process. She delved into the films into special chemical baths, that revealed an inverted vision, and surreal colors, transforming the human skin into a blue colour.
This captivating exploration intertwines with the myth of Shiva and the Blue Throat, “Neelkanta.”
Anne explores Hindu mythology, uncovering the profound symbolism within Shiva’s tale. Anne realized how Shiva’s selfless act of consuming the Halahala poison and Parvati’s intervention portrayed a delicate balance between destruction and preservation, a harmonious resolution emerging from conflicting forces, illustrating the intricate equilibrium essential for universal balance.
Through this legend, Anne’s lens shows vibrant photographs where today the oppressed people converge, residing under apocalyptic skies or improbable places. Her photography defies reality, inviting us into a more vivid, complex world. In this photographic odyssey, Anne Garde doesn’t merely play with imagery, she redefines it, unveiling hidden layers that transcend time and perception. The reversal process from positive to negative reveals a plurichromatic artistic realm, evoking reflection and meditation, unlocking the image’s secrets.
