Crossing the Ecliptic: A Trilogy

Crossing the Ecliptic is a collaborative attempt by two artists to make sense of the great light and shadow play of immateriality that gives the human world its unique perspectives and varied visual experiences. Rizio Yohannan Raj's eponymous poetic trilogy (forthcoming in The Drunken Boat) inspired by the celestial sphere representing the sun's apparent path during the year, the moon's crossing across and the resultant eclipses meets Aadil Jamal's lens, which had independently captured reflections, tones and shades illumining and extending the material reality about him. Their coming together here forms LILA's first step towards realising its visionary project, LILA Terra-Sutra InterArts. Umbra: That total experience of an eclipse Penumbra: That partial illumination of a vision Antumbra: That light which contains opaqueness
