Rohini Devasher at the Taipei Biennial

Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, Taiwan

On view November 1, 2025 - March 29, 2026

 

The 14th edition of the Taipei Biennial 2025, titled Whispers on the Horizon, brings together 72 artists from 37 cities worldwide. Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, the exhibition features 33 newly commissioned works and site-specific installations that engage deeply with the museum’s unique architecture and context. The Taipei Biennial 2025 amplifies the voices of young and mid-career artists, with nearly half of the participants born after 1984.

 

Rohini Devasher's Luminous Archives is a series of solargraphs—photographic works created through a combination of pinhole photography and digital processing. Each image is made with a pinhole camera: a simple can or tube with a tiny hole and photographic paper inside, capturing sunlight over days, weeks, or months. As the Earth moves, the Sun’s path leaves glowing trails on the film—paths we cannot ‘see’ with our eyes.

 

Over the course of a year, Devasher recorded the ecliptic—or the Sun’s path across the sky—using pinhole cameras placed around two locations in the National Capital Region (NCR), including Delhi. The series experiments with extremely long exposure photography, capturing the visible and the invisible.
