Pratap Morey uses digital prints and archival material to create intricate matrices exploring the constantly changing geographies of urban spaces. The Superimpose series articulates problematic themes such as construction, redevelopment and displacement, that not only resonate with current times but are immediate concerns in our urban landscape. The structural nature of his works act as a tool to create an almost new parallel to reality.

According to Kaiwan Mehta, “As much as the drawings consider the stuff of reality as their basis, and are then actually superimposed over pictures and photos of that reality, they seem to in fact produce a world that primarily exists within the drawn projection - the drawing is the reality while the photos underneath, morphed and mirrored, create some sense of an intoxicated reality no longer real. The reality of photos, and the material recognition of that landscape, and all in life that goes along with it produces a certain surreal ‘lost-landscape of reality’ - a reality so real that one finds it intoxicating, an almost a new parallel to reality but not real.”
