"Patni is based in Dubai and known for creating striking, cinematic worlds that often hover between reality and imagination. His artistic journey reflects his deep fascination with memory, perception, and the surreal often layering playfulness with quiet introspection. These images are part of a photo series based on Patni's immersive art installation titled 'Longing.' The original installation involved live actors and a built set."
"The project is meant to capture small, personal moments: someone waiting, someone lost in thought, someone feeling something they can't quite name. I want people to feel like participants in a conversation between light, color, and emotion. Ultimately, my practice is about dissolving boundaries between reality and dream, between artist and audience, and offering small moments of wonder and reflection in a world that moves too fast."
Tejal Patni is a Dubai‑based lens‑based artist and filmmaker who builds striking, cinematic worlds that blur reality and imagination. His work stems from a fascination with memory, perception, and the surreal, often balancing playful elements with quiet introspection. The presented images derive from a photo series tied to the immersive installation 'Longing,' which originally used live actors and a constructed set. The project focuses on small, personal moments—waiting, daydreaming, and unnamed feelings—and aims to transform spectators into participants by creating layered experiences that invite viewers to step beyond the frame and inhabit the work.
