LIGHT STORIES BY TAKSHAK PARAMAR
Bihar Museum, a vital custodian of India’s cultural and architectural heritage, continues to foster meaningful dialogues between history and contemporary artistic practices. Light Stories emerges from this shared vision—using the museum’s architectural language as both subject and setting, and positioning light as a central element in shaping spatial experience and perception.
Through a nuanced photographic approach, Takshak Parmar captures the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and structure within the museum. The series reveals how illumination transforms surfaces, volumes, and transitions throughout the day, offering viewers a deeper understanding of the building as a living, evolving space rather than a static form.
Curated and produced by MonaLisa Buys Art in collaboration with Bihar Museum, the project creates a thoughtful dialogue between contemporary visual storytelling and cultural heritage. Light Stories invites audiences to slow down, observe, and engage with architecture in an intimate and reflective manner—celebrating photography as a medium that bridges design, memory, and experience.
Presented within the architectural context that inspired it, Light Stories encourages viewers to reconsider their relationship with built environments and the quiet narratives they hold. By focusing on transient moments of light and atmosphere, the series underscores the idea that architecture is experienced as much through sensation and time as through form—leaving audiences with a renewed awareness of space, presence, and observation.
