Mithu Sen

This set of happy prick drawings contains a withdrawal of presence and the subsequent opening of absence.
A personal album - that has no definite space in official history, innumerable morphed memories, stories, the pleasures and burdens of attachment in an attempt to question the transient nature of existence.

It’s a domain where reality draws and withdraws, chooses to expose the concealed, undress and reveals what lies beneath and questions the politics around what is chosen to be part of the political, collective, popular personal history and what is suppressed, (un)acknowledged and (un)seen.

It is about validating and accepting the Invisibles (the mnemonic world of traces, left-overs, wounds, erases, violence, remainders and reminders that are intentionally ignored) and serves as a disclaimer and an exercise in perceiving what the images are and are not confirming the validity of our existence and our experiences.
