A ball of fabric is made from thin, rolled-up strips finely shredded from a single Dhakai Jamdani sari. Presented like an object in a museum, it is accompanied by a label bearing the title of the work: 1:2138. It is yet another border rescaling work from the artists ongoing series since 2011. The total length of the strips of fabric used to make this ball is equivalent to 1/2138 the length of the barbed border under construction between India and Bangladesh. Upon completion, this fence become the world’s longest separation barrier across a region of shared history, language, food, and culture. The artist poetically transforms the geo-political division into a poignant orb that appears as abstract as the data it represents. The transposition from one scale to another enables a small object (the sari) to symbolically contain a much bigger one (the border). But this rolled-up sari has its own history and memory: it crossed the border unnoticed. In Bangladesh, the precious Sari Jamdani, made of cotton, takes a lot of time to make and is highly prized in India, so it gets smuggled. By destroying the much-coveted sari and radically transforming its shape, the artist paradoxically gives it another value, that of invisibility, which enables it to cross the border and elude the trade system.
