Event Description : ​​Bhavna Kakar invites you to "In Search of A Dream and Other Stories" Works by Kartik Sood
Stories by Manoj Nair

An India Art Fair 2016 collateral event

'In Search of a Dream and Other Stories' was inspired by the tradition of oral culture and story telling. Sood reinterprets the everyday in a visual format reminiscent of folktales, short stories and the Modern play. Each day piles upon the next, constructing pasts and personal histories of meandering anecdotes, hearsays, gossip and popular wisdom—creating tangible meanings—that bypass the elusiveness of one’s own identity. And this meaning making, being a process of tracing random associations by the unconscious, assumes a dreamlike quality. Sood's visuals are saturated with unreal colours, telling tales of the subtle, subjective realities of life that are absurd even when they feel profound. Inspired by and contributing to the particular ways in which we construct our sense of self are videos and mixed media work on paper that interplay with text by writer Manoj Nair to form little stories.
