Site-specific Project
Cheragi Art Show 2013
Cheragi Lane is well known area for printing press. I had a plan to create art activities from my temporary involvement with press. I selected the area, because here people are involved with press for their live and livelihood. I took videos of some presses and press equipped areas of Cheragi Lane. I recorded the process of printing. I collected the left over parts of different kinds of publications like leaflets, booklets, posters, newspapers, magazines etc.Then, I made posters with them, use the wasted parts of publications.
After
completing the collage
posters I pasted them on the wall of Cheragi Lane with my installation
and some area of Cheragi Lane. In
installation I used a huge of wastage papers from the presses. I
installed dual channel videos- one of them showed press machine’s
working and the other one
shows the place of cheragi where presses held. I installed the work near
the
press office of Cheragi Lane.
