Atul Bhalla, Navjot Altaf

"I Was Not Waving But Drowning I-II" by Atul Bhalla is part of the display at the exhibit "INDIA: Public Places, Private Spaces" at the Newark Museum.

Két fotósorozat (2005) egyik 14, másik 16 darabból (8x14”) áll, alig mozduló vízben úszó férfi lassan alámerül, egyik sorozatban oldalról, másik alkalommal szemből látszik, majd merül a fej.

Navjot Altaf(1949), Lacuna in Testimony, 2003, Video, triple projection, sound, 72 mirrors on floor, Talwar Gallery

Concept
This installation is an attempt to listen to testimonies and to question whether one can enumerate and describe events as they remain opaque when one truly seeks to understand them. Since testimonies contain a lacuna, the threshold of the in distinction between the inside and outside is seen as a connection - a dialogue. The video incorporates footage , stills and recorded interviews with individuals in Ahmedabad shot by the artist in 2002. It also contains Indian and International archival material.
