'expanded portraits' by justin ponmany


‘1-b indraneel bldg, rdp 1/38, sector 2, charkop’, 2007

justin ponmany is an merging artist born in kerala, india and now based in mumbai. ponmany specializes
in focusing on contemporizing the portrait. he makes what he calls ‘expanded portraits’, in which he
photographs mumbai residents from all angles to create a map-like panorama views of their three
dimensional heads. the pieces are reminiscent of scanners and cartography but their morphing nature
also shows signs of abstract art.
