An Apolitical Tree



Site specific installation with polythene and tree
Size: 20ft x 20ft x 30ft (Dimension Variable)
Year: 2016



Counter forming of physical phenomenon and subjectivity confront the way to reveal natural truth in context of twenty first century reality. In this way nature and architecture both has some rhetoric consultation of their own, both by visual form and energetic norm. Besides this, Curzon Hall had long historic brushworks of other cultures and politics which are now doomed by another regional truth. This isolation brought this architecture a deadly synthesis of its energy. The remained living green forms are encapsulating the red structures from the rest of our city (Dhaka).



so I have deconstructed the visual shape and form of some tree in front of Curzon Hall that will delineate contradiction with that british-Mughal architecture and also will be reactive as our city is performing an alienation with all that ground (as body of mind and the mind itself also).



I intended to transfigure some of these visual forms that could formalize the objectification and spirit into it. I am not interested in rather narrative aspect of any work of art but crosshatching pre-dominations and media-dimension-eco-socio-geo- cult-political obscurity.
