Guaranteed To Work Throughout Its Useful Life | Pundole Art Gallery & The Guild Art Gallery, Mumbai
Kausik Mukhopadhyay
2009
Overview
These objects are guaranteed to work. In a future world, new life forms evolve and assembled out of the debris of civilization. These fragments are assembled together to make war machines that create a spectacle out of comic juxtapositions and movements; a computing machine bleeds its wires all over the floor as it generates answers; a city is made out of what used to be parts of its most base infrastructure and a garden is created that is both absurd and beautiful.
Tiny fragments enlarge to become part of a larger whole through a shift of scale and vice versa. How long will these machines last or how long should they? Once their life is over do these also disappear into what remains of our history- waiting for another purpose, another meaning- an afterlife?
