Borrowed Light: Rohini Devasher
In her research-intensive practice, Rohini Devasher (b. 1978) explores the intersections between science, art, and philosophy. Astronomy, in which working with light plays a central role, is of particular importance to the Indian artist. “Borrowed” or reflected light allows phenomena to be captured and understood that otherwise remain in the dark—and, therefore, far removed from the realms of human perception. Devasher reveals the complexity of the processes of seeing and shows how thin the line is between knowledge and mystery. Rohini Devasher was named Deutsche Bank’s ‘Artist of the Year’ for 2024. This publication accompanies her first solo exhibition at a major institution in Germany—Borrowed Light at the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin. Text in English and German.

Night Light
Bilderna i ”Night Light” är betraktelser av slumrande småstäder och samhällen under ljusa nätter och mörka dagar. En gatlykta, ett upplyst fönster, en neonskylt eller ljuset från en sommarnattshimmel som aldrig helt slocknar. Och motsatsen: vinterhalvåret, då mörkret ympas in tidigt i dagar som aldrig riktigt vill ljusna. Att flanera runt i dessa nattlandskap är en ensamvandring. De tomma gatorna, de öde parkbänkarna, bilarna som står parkerade, tystnaden, ger en känsla av stillhet, att tiden he
