Tinsquo’s curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Chalo chalo (चलो चलो): Photographs by Ryan John Lee.
New York based photographer and filmmaker, Ryan John Lee is a studied practitioner of street photography. He states:
Street photography is a lifestyle, with my camera as a silent, omnipresent partner. I approach street photography in two ways: hunting and waiting. I hunt for potential moments and respond accordingly to photograph their image. Additionally, I wait for ideal photographic scenarios (a beam of light, an interesting composition), and I linger until a subject approaches and interacts–sometimes for hours.
This body of work documents the photographer's 14 day exploration of street life in Rajasthan, India. The exhibit's title, Chalo chalo (चलो चलो) translates from Hindi to “let’s go” - a constant cry of anyone walking and/or driving in the streets of India.
Chalo chalo (चलो चलो): Photographs by Ryan John Lee runs through August 24 and is on view at the Adjacent to Life pop-up gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City). There will be a reception for the artist on Thursday July 26, 6-8 pm.
