IIC is going to present an exhibition of photographs of the night skies across India, by Cyril Lucido Kuhn in the first week of July in the national Capital.
The images have been captured over a span of two years in several destinations across the country. The exhibition is the first milestone on a journey which began in the Nilgiris when the photographer witnessed the Milky Way for the first time.
During his journey, Cyril became aware of the rapid and ever increasing loss of our night sky. We are unable to see the stars in the night sky due to light pollution. A perfect night sky is hidden from our view because of the illumination of the atmosphere from the urban lights.
The aim of the artiste is to share the extraordinary beauty of the sky bursting with stars, planets and other celestial objects. He also wishes to highlight the negative impacts, glare from the artificial lights has, on the environment disturbing all life forms and blocking our vision to the universe.
