The haunting atmosphere of familiarity on visiting Calcutta for the first time twenty years ago inspired Christopher Taylor`s Endeavour to capture the city`s fascinating relationship with its colonial history. The British planned Calcutta and Bombay to symbolise imperial power. Returning to India on a yearly basis since 2003, he photographed mostly the interiors of the administrative buildings that still dominate central Kolkata and Mumbai. An exhibition in Kolkata two years ago of some of these images led to a close collaboration with Soumitra Das, Arts Editor with the Telegraph, to work on ``Red Square`` – a book project of text and images about the fulcrum of colonial power in India, the area at the heart of old Calcutta where British trade was first established back in 1686. The exhibition showcases a selection of photographs taken between 2003 and 2006.
