NULL ISLAND is a duo-exhibition with Tsohil Bhatia and Shani Banerjee curated by Emma Vescio. Both artists have been working within meditative realms of photography, video, and sculpture in relation to the ocean and ideas of lonesomeness. By exacting elements of natural spaces and placing them in the gallery, audience members are asked to examine water, bones, and archival objects to see the journeys they have taken.



About Shani Banerjee:

Shani Banerjee is a visual artist and musician from Pittsburgh, PA. Shani's visual work is couched in Fine Art, Documentary, and Alternative Process photography, where she chooses to move between narrative and conceptual presentation through process manipulation and transference, requesting viewer to commit to the challenging the notion of a complete and beautiful image. She utilizes the now defunct Fuji Peel-Apart Film, creating physical transfers, 35mm color and black & white, 16mm motion film, and Nikon and iPhone digital still and motion.


About Tsohil Bhatia: 

Tsohil Bhatia is an interdisciplinary artist working with the ghost of their performance practice. They received their professional diploma in performance studies at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology and are currently an MFA candidate at the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University. Tsohil makes objects, photographs and video to investigate natural mechanisms and passage of time. These studies aid their current thesis of the thingness of 'nothing'.
