INTIMATE
ENCOUNTERS


Intimate Encounters is a documentary photo project made for Diana Matar’s class titled Global Long Room Photography. Shot over a period of 10 weeks in the city of New York, it explores intimacy beyond the realm of romantic love— between people and circumstances alike.
 
Having lived in New York city as a resident for over a year, Aditi sought to exclaim the feeling engendered by shared circumstances of intimacy that are hard to label, and recognise.

The project was both an exploration, and a purposeful rumination on tenderness, both witnessed and felt on the daily. Aditi chose to photograph in and out of the house, specifically looking at remnants of domestic love and public touch. 

The project was given an Arts Grant funding by Barnard College and was exhibited at Millbank Hall at Barnard from May to August 2022.
