Chennai Photo Biennale unearths the stories behind iconic images

By Saritha Rao | Architectural Digest India

It is either an act of great strategy or the result of a reckless dare to hope to visit all the exhibitions of the Chennai Photo Biennale 2019 in the space of a month. Think 15 venues and more than 50 artists! That's the other thing. They are called artists, not photographers, and I discover exactly why, as I pick two venues with multiple exhibitions, and come to the realisation that contemporary photography is much more of an art today, in bringing compelling ideas to life in formats that are as relevant as they are ingenious.
