In depth discussion of the works, 4 pm to 6 pm.

NIGHT CRASH COLD BLOOD
BISWAJIT explores acts of killing in specific Bombay films and in a modded videogame set in the city, creating friction with nonfictional archives, and proposing a matrix of what could lie "behind the scenes". He pays attention to "extras" and NPCs and the particular modes of violence they are subject to, and historically excavates and connects them to real-life events.
VANSHIKA spent her days lurking around Dalal Street and the Bombay Stock Exchange getting a pulse on the business of people talking money - a unique local sensorium of gossip, street knowledge, faith, shock and drama.
Lured by the darkness and the daily appearance of public space in the intertidal zone, RITIKA's walks by the sea took her away from the city’s bright, crowded and over-surveilled public spaces of leisure into a quieter, darker edge of the ocean - by night and by low tide - guided only by torchlight, to encounter other torch bearers.
AKARTHA collected discarded furniture and transformed it into a functioning refrigerator where data is frozen, carrying the present into the future through gathered materials under controlled conditions. The work questions how perishable materials are maintained within larger preservation systems, including of art, highlighting the tension between decay and survival while exposing contradictions of preservation itself.
This is year three of the Inlaks Fine Arts Awardees residency with CAMP. We look forward to sharing and discussing their workings.
Warmly,
CAMP
