A site specific Installation by Anupam Saikia

Venue: Near Dept of Fine Arts, S.N. School / University of Hyderabad, 2015

Philosopher Zizek said in the documentary named “the examined life” - “We need to our own distance and alienation from nature, to see the trash that we have produced. Furthermore, we need to find a way to do poetry and spirituality in the dirt of our world. Only when we are really able to see and embrace trash can we expose the factors that cause environmental destruction. Only after these factors and their impacts are seen and exposed have we built the ground for real and systemic change to take place.”

Partially i inspired from this and I started to collect some waste material such as electronic dump, wood, plastic which is available in landscape and think about them, its history, and utility etc or why I picked up? Which force me to be chosen the particular object? I am trying to find out from an object to human condition. Therefore I hanged these collected materials in well organized manner which was associated with bourgeois value and aristocratic display of wealth and luxury. Though the scraps conveys an environmental issues, global warming, but I want to experiment something more and constructed beyond that. Here I like the complexity; overlapping and I felt a connection with the human psychological tension. In this work I am not harming the space. It s organically merge in to the space. Because during process the animal or bird like buffaloes, peacock, another bird come to the installation space and they act as usual.






INDEED - This site specific installation or the visual is an Abstract, delusion not to see as a gallery work or installation. Through this experiment my aim is to produce sound within the object or between the objects with the help of nature. It is kind of wind chime and the sound is like voice of object or voice of nature which viewer can feel it. Sometimes sounds are soothing, sometimes haunted, and sometimes scary; viewers can open up through sound, also open up their imagination and emotions. The idea emerged in the viewers mind that how they lead their mind through their experiences with sound.
