When Kulbhushan Met Stöckli

by Anindya Roy

An experiment in telling short graphic tales, which, individually and together, create a local universe This unusual book, originating from a project financed and supported by Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council, explores hidden urban themes, opens the psychic core of cities in Switzerland and India and constructs a conversation channel between the two. Artefacts of the cities themselves give rise to the stories. The structure follows connections that are obvious, connections that are ephemeral and connections that don’t exist.
