Location: Booth 32, Art Mumbai

On the walls of humdrum, stories that were yet to be told held a time, changing places, finding -- a newer imagination. Stories that form the essence of our existence, stories in varying forms, multiple mediums, disparate sizes – standing silently in their individual existence, and yet, when they commune together and change meanings of viewing, different natures come to the surface. 


Behind these stories, are also stories that we are not a part of, but are still a witness to. 

What choices do you as a witness to these conflicted words make? 


Today, as one of these encounters takes shape in between you, the viewer and this cluster, the experiences which hold the streets of one city of dreams becomes a macroscope through which certain realities look at you, collectively, within this room. 

 

(But) Remember, there is flux which also shifts the non-selective light scattered behind. On the walls hanging are quadrilaterals, which are portals for you to enter inside a new world, and mutate. As you put yourself in a slumber, so deep that your eyes stretch wide open and witness bits of you traveling through spaces – from creature to creature – many bunnies come in conversations with braided figures, elephants roll on a globe, and STOP! 

Do you hear the loud taalis of this get together?

 

If not, there are two handheld fire extinguishers to foreshadow any hazard. We warn you in advance that the nitrogen they contain, or lack, is also the laugh we expect if you step on what stays silent or walks on the floor. 

 

And in that, are your foot-thoughts. Creating more spaces for clusters to be….

 

When the six-sided die rolling in white is blotted with colors, the cluster ushers and scouts, invents and re-invents. Sometimes, changing slowly and gradually, at other times in a silent but breathtaking pace, inviting a euphony or a cacophony – You decide!

 

A call to adjudge several moments of truths, this conglomeration calls you in. You can view it from a distance, or come closer to open it further. Bound together in a haphazard fashion, the cluster and the flux comes together, recalls as it expands – studios and homes, streets and architectures, fairs and events – in a small continuum extending through an extra large desire – where corners and centers co-exist to gauge the little shifts and ask the passerby:

 

When do clusters shift what lies within?
