The first series, shot in the 1980s, presents a study of ageing Anglo-Indians primarily from Bombay (Mumbai) and Calcutta (Kolkata), and forms one of Kapoor's earliest personal photography projects. The idea of a world no longer present or fast fading central to this work, also forms a primary thread in Kapoor's second series of photographs taken during his frequent visits to Goa, where he vacationed with his family and friends at their house on Baga Beach. Taken in the 1990s, these photographs capture an older Goa, the last remnants of Portuguese Goa. Alongside reproductions of the 48 black and white photographs that comprise the exhibit, the publication features two original texts by William Dalrymple and Felicity Kendal.
