Fluidity of horizons by Parvathi Nayar, an amazing art, Kochi Muziris biennale 2014

"The starting point of these explorations is the dot, the punctum (the point) whose endless iterations..."  I liked it, very meaningful words!

This brilliant artist has included so many facets of the ancient history of the Malabar coast in this work especially the skillful integration of 'astrolabe', an astronomical instrument widely used by explorers during that time.

Beautiful creation!

A must see art, do not miss it ðŸ˜Š

Pepper, dubbed as the 'black gold' and other condiments and spices attracted many explorers to this part of the world that led to a series of historical events which as you all know finally became a double-edged sword - the story of how the visitors became the rulers!

I have written a post some time ago about the 'Ibn Battuta mall' in Dubai where I have posted a picture of Islamic astrolabe http://magicalpresent.blogspot.in/2014/01/ibn-battuta-mall-in-dubai-theme.html

Artists are creative people. They express ideas in a creative manner stimulating us to think, enjoy and smile :) Art can become powerful tools to convey messages, and it may trigger many complex emotions. It is a powerful medium.

Ryota kuwakubo, Lost # 12, play of light and shadow, electronic art installation

A fascinating electronic art installation by Ryota Kuwakubo at the Aspinwall House, the main venue of the Kochi Muziris Biennale 2014😊

An LED light attached to a moving toy train on rails creates shadows on the walls of the dark room as it passes through and alongside numerous objects most of which were collected from the shops in Kochi. Brilliant!

Well, the interpretation of the shadows is purely personal. I listened to the comments of the people who were there along with me. 

Different perceptions, same spectacle! After all, it is a familiar scenario in real life too...!

It was exciting to watch the shadows when the train entered the red basket top!

Thumbs up, Ryota😊
