Untitled
Sculptural Installation of 100 objects
fixed and rotating on a 8 x 4 feet table
Cinema City, National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai
Touring Exhibition in India
Curated by Madhushree Dutta
Artist Statement
The imagination of the city of dizzying speed and escalating desire is replicated in an installation of moving wooden objects that are shaped in the form of firecrackers and painted/printed in the idiom of matchbox labels. The objects also resemble threaded spindles, the base for production in the textile industry – the erstwhile nerve center of the city.
The high speed of movement makes the objects ephemeral and yet desirable, much like matinee idols who are often referred to as patakas – firecrackers.
