Alsisar Mahal, Alsisar India 2018

A commission for the Raja of Khetri
Abymanu Alsisar.. Thousands of stones
suspended on wires, human legs made
of hardware cloth lit by “fake TVs”
(lights intended to imitate a TV playing
in an empty house), collapsed hardware
cloth ceiling. As the piece was forced to
collapse under its own weight, visual
order devolved into something chaotic
but truly beautiful.
