View #2 (Mumbai – Grant Road East) is a set of six photographs (each 21 x 28 cm) on archival paper, accompanied by an audio track. Mumbai is a major coastal city in western India and the capital of Maharashtra. Grant Road is a central locality that straddles both east and west, known for its mix of old residential buildings, busy markets, and pockets of cultural heritage. It reflects the city’s contrasts—between the historic and the modern, the quiet and the chaotic.

View #2 (Mumbai – Grant Road East) is part of Baptist Coelho’s ongoing multimedia series View, which explores the shifting relationship between people and their environments, capturing the tension and flow of shared public spaces. The aerial vantage point of the series invites the viewer to see from a new perspective, transforming familiar scenes into unexpected views. With each location captured in six photographs, the work echoes the idea of ‘Six Degrees of Separation’, suggesting that people from different backgrounds may still be connected in unexpected ways. A six-minute soundscape, recorded alongside the photographs, draws the viewer in with ambient sounds that evoke a sense of place and connection.
