Hisham Akira Bharoocha

Exhibition

Feel The Light

De Vleeshal in Middelburg, Netherlands 2007

Feel The Light was Bharoocha’s first solo exhibition in Europe curated by Ton van Gool.  This was the first fully immersive installation Bharoocha created using sculpture, plants, video, photographs, large scale painting and collage.  This exhibition was envisioned based on imagery seen in the artist’s mind during meditations and dream states. Here is a detail of installation with tent, hand sewn pillows, found blanket, plants, painted particle board.
