Real vs Unreal by Kaushik Dolui

Photographs of this trend create a reality that does not reflect reality, but prompted by subconscious, characteristics, the expression of unconscious fantasies. Something like unnatural, supernatural and mysterious.

Photographs of this trend create a reality that does not reflect reality, but prompted by subconscious, characteristics, the expression of unconscious fantasies. Something like unnatural, supernatural and mysterious.

Here all the subjects are unearthly and unusual who are standing against a vast mountain landscape of timeless terrain. Sometimes they are engaged in talks or busy in walking and sometimes they are alone in the vast terrain, listening to the silence.. May be they are all human beings or may not be. You may say they came from another world or this planet is not known to us. All are identity less, only one can feel their individuality. Sometimes raises questions about their existence also.  Just takes a surreal approach to landscapes.
