“Saudade”

“An idyllic world by the side of the river, Damodar, at East Burdwan, West Bengal, India, far from the madding crowd and the din and bustle of urban life, a place where animals, plants and human beings live together in an atmosphere of mutual joy, promise and fulfilment. As the place is close to my workplace, I  often go there during my leisure time and spend time to contemplate and rejuvenate my bond with the universe and some of my human attributes that remain buried in connection with urban life.”

“This is a still image from a video of a performance piece at Spread Art in Detroit, MI, USA. The performance piece was based on a bicycle ride I did from the top of Lake St Clair, along the Detroit River, to Lake Erie. During this ride, there was almost no physical access to the water, due to private ownership. The performance, therefore reflected the state of not having access to the water.”

“This is a still image from a 6 hour long endurance performance piece, lying under this fallen boulder balanced on two other boulders on a mountain in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, contemplating Geologic Intelligence during professor Benjamin Bratton’s seminar in the summer of 2017 at European Graduate School.”

“The attached photo represents how different people enjoy the natural environment. Taken in April 2019, pictured are various tourists enjoying the snow and sunshine on a frozen-over Lake Louise. People connect with the natural landscape, friends and family. You can see children and adults playing in the snow, taking pictures and experiencing a youthful joy and a connection to place. With climate change accelerating, beautiful experiences like those captured in this photo are at stake.”
