Where does an artwork take the onlooker to? There are often different terrains interlaced in an artwork with a play between the familiar and not-so-familiar worlds. This exhibition brings together those artistic interventions and explorations that are deep reflections on the physical tangible terrains that constitute our worlds. The processes of city building, settlements, and the futures of humans inhabiting and its contours in the worlds within and outside are part of this explorations. In the range of artworks presented here, artists Baiju Parthan, Gigi Scaria, Pooja Iranna and Ranbir Kaleka have vividly mapped physical spaces and the metaphorical states of mind by reimagining spaces beyond a singular perspective.

Baiju Parthan plays with the illusions visually and metaphorically in his three-dimensional rendering of the monochromatic cityscapes where the machines become the living creatures. Gigi Scaria creates uncharted fictitious terrains and uninhabited worlds juxtaposed with an ornamental panel of concealed human presence. Pooja Iranna’s cityscapes map vast city-grids, settlements and structures that are devoid of inhabitants indicating an act of cleansing. Ranbir Kaleka employs the act of building and brings in players to his composition by referencing historical sites and structures. 

Human activities, urbanization, mechanization, hyper-connectivity, and chaos echo in these creations. The very familiar terrains turn fictitious, metaphorical and alien.
