Sohrab Hura:
Things Felt But Not Quite Expressed
UNSIGNED
SIGNED
In conjunction with Sohrab Hura: Mother, MoMA PS1's first US survey of the artist, Artbook @ MoMA PS1 is carryingThings Felt But Not Quite Expressed, a monograph collection of Hura's pastel illustrations made between 2022 and 2024 of everyday scenes of love, joy, family, and relationships.
Renowned for his self-published photographic books, here Hura departs from the fixedness of the photographic form, using technicolour soft pastel to imbue his portraits, still lifes, and quotidian scenes with fluidity and to charge them with feeling. These works originated in a period in which the artist felt unable to connect with the permanency of photographs. Pivoting to drawing enabled him to capture the whimsy and ephemerality of everyday life.
Sohrab Hura is a photographer and filmmaker who lives and works in New Delhi, India. The MoMA PS1 exhibition Mother showcases more than fifty works from the last two decades of his experimental practice, weaving together bodies of work across photography, film, sound, drawing, painting, and text that have never before been shown together.
