all the powerful needed to subjugate

HAND-BOOK-MAKING


In the practice of book-making, I edit sequences of drawings, photos, screenshot from videos, and text, as a method to start thinking about movement of thoughts and transformations of meanings, which could possibly present the problems I am dealing with. This practice began due to lack of accessibility to discourse, but now when I am able to involve in theory, this remains a way connect theory back to events of life.

‘Untitled’ books of sketches and writings

variable sizes, multiple mediums (drawings, inkjet and laser prints, etc) 
2019-2021


The books document my thoughts and reflections, throughout the research period between 2019 and 2021, which focussed on ‘Caste’ and its anchoring aspects such as dehumanization, myth-artification and camouflage. Through these book-exercises I try to develop personal-rational relations between ideas, drawings and texts, that emerge in the intersection of my life and work responding to my ongoing artistic research on Caste as an ideological object in the mundane.

the void, the vaccum, the universe
the negation of all existence
we have ever known
is in the gutters
-- this was preached to the population


all the powerful needed to subjugate
an entire population was few bad stories
few metaphors, oddly shaped symbols, slogans...
words, meanings, icons, images

where will you look
you are confined by walls
stretch your body, you will touch a wall
living, eating, drinking, sleeping, working
you hardly have anytime for looking anyways
do you even think about looking?

I am sure you think,
I am sure you look

I am sure you think about what you are seeing
you think about what you are smelling, feeling...
but then you never tell anyone
you keep it to yourself, within your walls

where will you go from here 
where will you go from here
where will you go from here
where will you go from here
where will you go from here
where will you go from here
where will you go from here
