MANIFESTATION अभिव्यक्ति
MANIFESTATION अभिव्यक्ति, is a nine screen video installation, a common work Jayesh Sharma and I created for our exhibition "ENDANGERED SPACES" in Mumbai at Nine Fish Gallery. Jayesh's work reveals fading cultural practices in India and particularly the beauty of the Kushti tradition (The Sacred Wrestling) which is on the brink of extinction. My ZEITGEIST series call for attention to the fragility of our world, and the beauty we have to preserve.
We decided to join our gazes, and created this nine channel piece, shot in Varanasi, which intersects and merges, combining the ZETGEIST and Jayesh's portrayal of the Kushti. In this collaboration between a French Woman and an Indian Man, we jointly reflect on the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
