This is a fascinating visual journey through Francesco Clemente's images of India, collected over four decades. Francesco Clemente first travelled to India in 1973 in search of "somewhere else". The acutely contemporary world of India that he encountered, whose antiquity had been transformed and reinvented by a lively popular culture, enchanted him. Over the next four decades, and across numerous trips, Clemente journeyed through the ever-mutating cartography of Indian visual culture - temple exteriors, shop signs, calendars, advertisements, graffiti, and more - building up an archive of images, both in his memory and in his notebooks filled with hundreds of drawings, lying latent over decades, coalescing, talking to each other, eventually surfacing in his work in another incarnation, another context.
