Final Installation.

My final installation was done in a public space, on a terrace. After having a horde of ideas coming from completely different aspects of study, we finally came up with an immensely refined version of an initial rough idea. We planned to put text, a sentence, spread out an A3 sized sheets with normal daily household items hidden under separate white sheets of cloth. the text read 'What is behind the image is concealed' in bold white text with a black background.

After the initial idea, the process of the installation was a tough task with minute necessary details coming every every time you move forward in the process a little. If i am honest even after we were done with everything and looking at the installation with another perspective, I found many very minor and often unnoticed details that could help improve the overall feel of it. I learnt that the process itself is art in itself. it is an experience that is a leaning process for any artist that, in the end, adds to the final piece in a huge way.

Concept note:

This attempts to play with the concept of sight and image. Every setting before our eyes can be considered an image, a snapshot, a photograph existing in that moment in which we see it. Our every day lives exist in the form of memories and those memories are often retrieved from what we have seen. Yet what is truly to be considered is perhaps invisible - it is beyond the visual. The image often is simply a veil, behind which something of importance may lie.

Here we try to compress a lifestyle underneath white sheets; every day objects that perhaps sum up a day in the human experience - an experience hidden by white. The image is a visual, but the visual is not clearly recognizable. 

This installation addresses one to look at living as an image, and then imply that there lies an entirely different meaning beyond that image existing as a realm we may explore. The realm that is concealed behind the image.
