phantoroman: SHORE LEAVE (Two Love Stories)
Single channel projected digital slide show, gilded frame, 90 x 120 cm
Latitude 28 Gallery, New Delhi (2012)
A sailor, a prostitute, a city, the search for warmth, and a slice of snatched time; Shore Leave is a short story in words and images about words and the unsaid, about desire and the incalculability of longing. Shore Leave is another of Raqs’ ongoing forays into the photo- roman form.
