Neelham - (नीलम) -C- 2016

from £400.00

‘This image was taken in 2016 on a visit to the Neelam Cinema in Chandigarh India. I’d long heard there were two Corbusier designed cinemas but couldn’t find images of either. Indeed it wasn’t clear If they were actually still open.

Over the years it had become somewhat of a quest for me and I was delighted finding the cinema was indeed still open. The manager seemed genuinely baffled but flattered I wanted to take pictures, and gave permission on the condition that I could only shoot Interiors during the 20 minute change over between films. Indian films are very long so I was there all day. I remember ever minute like it was yesterday. This image won the Architectural Photograph of the Year award in India in 2017, and has been exhibited and collected worldwide.’

The Neelam Cinema are part of an ongoing Series exploring the Psychogeography of Architectural environments. It is the only remaining cinema Corbusier designed for this region that is still standing and operational.
