The book Anamorphosis is an epilogue to Soi’s journey across the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel. The trip precedes and forms the basis for Praneet Soi’s exhibition Anamorphosis. Notes from Palestine, Winter in the Kashmir Valley (The Mosaic Rooms, 2019), his first solo exhibition in London.

In his work, Soi is keen to explore the term “anamorphosis” as a metaphor for distorted representations arising from politicised subject matter. Palestine is experienced through facets of landscape, productivity, and enterprise, and placed in dialogue with Soi’s ongoing engagement with craftsmen in Kashmir. His work surmises that any representation of such landscapes is a political gesture.
