Ranbir Kaleka’s latest exhibition, Fear of a New Dawn, is now on view at Delhi’s Vadehra Art Gallery and it features only five multimedia works, which paint a bleak image of contemporary society. While his approach is nuanced, the artworks still manage to make a strong emotional impact on viewers.
Take for example House of Opaque Water, a three-channel projection the artist made with environmentalist Pradip Saha. The video looks at the effects of global warming and the rising water levels in the Sunderbans which have drowned several nearby islands, once home to many people.
