Joel Suganth
I'm a new media artist, film photographer, musician and educator from Chennai, India, currently based in Taipei.
Some of my long-term projects include Kasi, a series of photographs taken over a ten-year period in Varanasi. The Himalayan road, featuring several road trips across the Indian Himalayas, and Padhimalai, a photo series about a village in Tamilnadu.
My recent ongoing project “Becoming Indian” is a series that explores the complex identity that overseas Indians cultivate and navigate through. I hope to complete the project in two years.
I started making art everyday in response to the the uncertainty and immobility that this pandemic caused - crossed 291 days so far.
