I
happened to visit the Kochi Muziris Biennale this year. Although my
inclination to art is confined to my fascination towards Vincent Van Gogh and my love for graffiti, the experience of this visit
gave me an insight on an artist’s perspective of art. All the art installations
were unique, with a clear stamp of contemporary thinking paired with simplicity
in them.
Here is a glimpse of what I witnessed at the Biennale - Some pictures and some tidbits :)
Picture 1 – A perfect view of
the Fort as it meets the Arabian Sea with grace. It was a fine sunny day,
beautiful skies and a lot of fishes swimming into eternity.
Picture 2
– At first, just like any other art-blind person would react, I was puzzled at
this installation. From a distance, it just seemed like a big, round, blue
wall-hanging. A closer look revealed a single meticulously knit, crumpled blue
cloth which formed a perfect circle.
Picture 3
– I was transported to a different dimension when I stepped into this
sepia-colored space. The lighting, an old boat, and
thousands of old photographs lying on the floor gave this space a totally
eerie aura. I couldn’t get my eyes off
the Asian woman in Picture 4 – spellbinding art work by Dinh Q Le.
Picture 5 – Although, I didn’t quite get the science behind the installation, I made sure I captured the movement as a GIF. J

6 – I am always charmed by shapes and designs in windows and constructions. French
windows are amazing! This one here is not French but I love it nonetheless
Picture
7 – A Swastik Swiss Army Knife with all the accessories you need by Biju Joze
Picture
8 – Artha by Prasanth Pandey – an installation made from blood sample blades
(At first look, I was amazed but after knowing these are blood samples, I
did squirm a bit)
Picture
9 – The Life of Stars by Lindy Lee – An amazing metal spill installation that
caught my attention
Picture
10 – This is one of the best of all the installations I saw in this Biennale. It
was more like a theme-park experience where Ryota Kuwakubo's Lost#12 showed us
the play with light and shadow. A must-see!
Picture
11 – This piece here gathered a lot of crowd as it was placed outside and the
water was whirl pooling in a great pace. I have tried to capture a GIF out of
it.
Picture
12 – Awed and Amazed! That was how I was when I looked though this mirror
reflecting installation.
That's all folks! :)
