Serving up a fun, surreal and multifaceted portrait of his home country. (Sara Rosen Huck)
Bangalore photographer Kapil Das has issued a corrective to such travelogue stereotypes with a dryly humorous sequence of images that sometimes plays with clichés, but more often than not upends preconceptions about India. (Padua Pat Spectrum Culture)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Something So Clear is Kapil Das' patient look behind the visual cliches and stereotypes that have come to define India. Consisting of a tight edit from thousands of photos taken over a decade, the book shows the spectrum of India through land- and streetscapes, portraits and everyday happenings, some as deceptively simple as a man carrying a mattress or a beetle resting on a leaf. Sequenced not chronologically or geographically but by intuition, humor and mood, Something So Clear is an archive of impressions that embraces the chaos of life and contains images that in Das' words are "from a place but not of a place." While trained as an ethnologist, Das casts aside a strictly analytical approach to capture ephemeral encounters in photos he deems "psychological portals" into his subjects' (and his own) self. Serendipity not certainty guides Das and makes the title of this book delightfully ironic: "something so clear" is an alluring yet unreachable ideal. Something So Clear is Bangalore-based photographer Kapil Das' look behind the visual cliches and stereotypes that have come to define India.Edited from thousands of photos taken over a decade, the book shows the spectrum of India through land- and streetscapes, portraits and everyday happenings.
