Ghosh’s work draws on the image as “medium”, as a repository of values constructed over time. Placing the self directly in line with the image the artist explores the underlying social realities that manifest the present through the hold of time past. As Amit Mukhopadhyay says, “The artist positions himself as the other, enters the social and invokes us to be engaged with larger discourses like the production of meaning. In a way, Subba tries to reverse the ‘looking’, relocate the positions of the subjects by working the zones of visibility and invisibility and these zones are crucial for constructing representations of social realities.” (texte Talwar Gallery, New York)
