“For at least two decades, Sanjeet looked at fish in their diverse forms as a signifier of cultural practices, a commodity, and an aesthetic object. Indeed, his meticulous attention to fish is a part of his broader interest in the culinary cultures …. In many ways, imaging fish translates into Sanjeet’s reflection on layered ideas of home, belonging, and collective emotion. Fish often extends a conceptual lens for him to comment on human and non-human interrelationships as they cohabit the planet. Simultaneously, he is attentive to the photographic medium with its specificities and potentialities. …. His 35mm format and black and white celluloid film allow him to merge the silver-based greys of the print with the hues and grains in the fish form. ….All photographs were made in the public spaces where fish is traded. Yet, a remarkable diversity of visual engagement makes them intellectually intriguing. Some focus exclusively on the fish form under natural and artificial light…others highlight the intertwined aesthetic of human and fish forms as they engage in culturally specific markets ….”
