Amit Sharma (°1981, Jaipur, India) makes photos, drawings, sculptures and performances. By applying a wide variety of contemporary strategies, Sharma tries to focus on the activity of presenting. The character, shape or content of the presented artwork is secondary. The essential things are the momentary and the intention of presenting.His photos are made through strict rules which can be perceived as liberating constraints. Romantic values such as ‘inspiration’, ‘genius’ and ‘authenticity’ are thereby neutralised and put into perspective. By replaying the work for each exhibition and pushing the evocative power of the work a little further, he plays with the idea of the mortality of an artwork confronted with the power of a transitory appearance, which is, by being restricted in time, much more intense.
