Eye Filmmuseum Presents Sohrab Hura: Winner of the Eye Art & Film Prize 2025 Exhibition

Sohrab Hura has been awarded the eleventh Eye Art & Film Prize for his powerful depiction of contemporary reality through a versatile blend of photography, film, and painting. The prize recognizes his exploration of themes like violence, inequality, mental health, and the distortion of reality in the digital age.

The Indian artist Sohrab Hura is the eleventh recipient of the prestigious Eye Art & Film Prize, celebrated for his potent ability to capture the surreal nature of today's reality through his artistic endeavors. Hura seamlessly navigates between photography, film, and painting, delving into a broad spectrum of themes that include violence, social inequality, spirituality, mental well-being, intimate family dynamics, and the effects of digital image proliferation on our perception of reality. The jury lauded Hura's distinct approach, noting his effortless movement between still and moving images, cinematic rhythms, and photo collages. His creations exist in a space between essay and encounter, documentary and dream, poetically and sharply revealing the contradictions and surrealism of contemporary life, particularly within the South Asian context. Hura's work is described as a tree with roots intertwined in a larger network, forming an interconnected whole through his films, books, photographic works, drawings, and paintings, and redefining storytelling in an era of fragmentation and uncertainty.

The prize enables the winner to develop new work and includes a joint presentation at Eye Filmmuseum. Specific details regarding the presentation dates and visitor access would typically be announced closer to the event or can be found on the museum's official website for future exhibition programming.
