Giving photography a twist, Hyderabad-based artist Dia Mehta Bhupal creates unusual images of ordinary spaces, but adding her own touch to each. In her debut solo show, Mind The Gap, Bhupal constructs images from magazines, newspapers and cardboard, for a unique outcome. “Each roll comes with its own text to create myriad stories from different cultures, time periods and genres,” she says about her art. You’ll never see supermarkets the same way again.
