Reclining Buddha Murals
These are photographs of the detailed murals that decorate the walls and windows of the Reclining Buddha temple. It exists in a much larger temple complex called the Wat Pho, which contains several hundred images of Buddha, many stupas, a huge Bodhi tree, stone statues and smaller temples.
Dayanita Singh
I am especially interested in her attempts to express her own visions of a place or city, opposing the singular story people usually expect about India, that of 'sensational catastrophes and human failures'
Neon Chandeliers
This gay shop in Venice was awesome, first because I've never seen a proper one - there are no sex shops in India, at least not in plain sight. Second because it is filled with neon chandeliers and paintings and guess what - a neon toilet called 'Water Closet Hotel' !
Crystal of Resistance
'But art is not resistance to something. It is resistance as such. Art is resistant because it resists everything that has already existed and been known. Art, as a resistance, is assertion, movement belief, intensity, art is 'positive.' Art resists tradition, morality and the factual world. Art resists every argumentation, every explanation and every discussion.'
The Heard and Unheard
'By constructing an "architectural music-space...made possible by the microphone," Music While We Work explores how artistic practice can intervence in the social space of labor production at the intersection of history and everyday life.'
