CAMP: The Radia Tap(e)s
in Two Acts
Act I (Swearing-in Whispers) is a screenplay in Courier 12pt melodramatic format, spanning the first three days of lobbying for cabinet spots, in the wake of the Indian general elections of 2009. The dialogue is entirely from phone taps made by the government. The screenplay slows them down and asks: what kinds of environments and scenes may lie behind them, and how are they connected?
Reading by : Murtaza Vali, Mariana Silva, Siddhartha Lokanandi, Rattanamol Singh Johal, Brian Kuan Wood, Debashree Mukherjee, Chloe X... thanks!
Act II (Hum Logos) is a 45-minute audio film following on from where the screenplay ends, taking us into the next two months, with the new cabinet in power. The film asks: if debate around these tapes was about whether they are edited or not, or as Justice Mukhopadhay put it, "splice has been added", then what can further editing do?
Act II (Hum Logos) is a 45-minute audio film spliced from the Pad.ma collection of the Radia Tapes. It covers two months after the Indian general elections of 2009, with the new cabinet in power. The film asks: if debate around these tapes was about whether they are edited or not, or as Justice Mukhopadhay put it, "splice has been added", then what can further editing do?

This exhibition proposes an after-form and before-form for two of
art's (and our own) usual objects. The first is a film that was shot over last
year on the English Channel that is now re-installed in Kolkata, making a certain claim for its universality.
The second is a "not-yet-film" treatment of the
Radia leaks as a screenplay, with an audio guide as its
soundtrack. Both these are moments lit up by separate alignments of, broadly, government,
technology, and opportunity...
