Raphael Mazzucco | Antara 2026

Inspired by the architecture, energy and contrasts of Rajasthan, internationally acclaimed artist and photographer Raphael Mazzucco's 2026 body of work emerges from a month-long journey through New Delhi, Jaipur, Ajmer, Jodhpur and Bikaner.

More than twenty-five years after his first encounter with India, Mazzucco returned not to rediscover a place, but to reconnect with a feeling - one found in surfaces shaped by time, where buildings absorb the rhythm of daily life and colour settles, fades and intensifies into something lived rather than designed.

Antara - Sanskrit for "the space between" - exists within this charged threshold: between memory and presence, stillness and chaos, the photograph and what it cannot hold.

Travelling with photographer and videographer Albi Jakici and model Sophia Petricenko, Mazzucco moved instinctively through Rajasthan's ancient cities, surrendering to the beauty of ornamental Rajput architecture, and walls that carry decades of heat and touch.
