A visually rich collection of illustrations and photography from the artists travels through India

The impressive, large-format pictures by Ljubodrag Andric (*1965) are all the more difficult to categorize the longer the viewer gazes at them. Even though Andric makes use of a camera at the beginning of his creative process, he operates at the interface between photography and painting. Between 2019 and 2024, Andric traveled through India and was inspired by the atmosphere of historical buildings to create works that can be described as geometric abstractions painted with light. A special feature of his work is the tactile quality reminiscent of fresco painting, which is also reflected in the choice of materials for this book. The publication, bound as a “dos-a-dos”, combines two books in one. The classic and equally radical layout by Dutch bookdesigner SYB congenially reflects the visual approach of Ljubodrag Andric's works. An alternating rhythm of full-page illustrations and double-page details picks up on the impressions and sensations that careful viewers of his originals works may have.
