The identity that we perceive of ourselves, and that's being assigned to us, where do we reside in that duality, to produce the proof of our existence? The self, the body, and the mind, at the converging point of these three, what is the role of any external force? As the world around us continues to shape us, slowly and daily, how do we resist it? During the course of two and a half months at the residency space at Incubator, Vadodara, these dualities remained constant, whether in relation to the world around me, my inner self, or the relationship between the two. The residency space at Grass Court Society became that point of convergence, where the ‘self’ tried to look inward from those vantage points. The works were shaped individually as multiple formal, visceral, and conceptual inquiries took shape simultaneously, yet the space became a walk-through environment for all these ideas. The experiments with the visual & materials were shaped around the staircase, windows, and different corners of the house. The works individually remained within its periphery of gazing at the recurring time, the site became a place to look back towards the self. The idiocentric approach took the form of drawings, excerpts from the screenplays I wrote & photographs from family album, of performances at my father’s theatre group, and the film sets I’ve been at most of the last eight years. The storyboards, animation plates, costumes, props and a shrine under the staircase; all that and the almost cosmetic positioning of the self, within the works as well as outside of them. The site was trying to accommodate these fragments, while the self once again looked outwards.
