My premise for an art project i ve been working on. <br /><br />Its also about how indian identities are changing and fragmenting at the same time. <br /><br />It works from the perspective of an nri who becomes a symbol/representation of a highly urbanised indian, but at the same who has a recollection of an earlier india, to bring out the contrast. He becomes aware of the consumerist fallacy in Dubai where he is working, and decides to come back home, but realises he cant find himself back home either, and gets confused seeing the changes its going through, i have also been referring to Dipanker Gupta, and Pankaj Mishra's Butter Chicken during the course of the project, the initial premise of the project aligns with the concerns you have written about here.. this is a link to the blog http://chanjelings.wordpress.com/<br />and the final product is taking shape in the form of a non linear interactive narrative. thanks for putting this up, really articulates my initial frame work well.. hoping to discuss it furtherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12385957685816512020noreply@blogger.com
