IMAGE SYNDROME
Drawing, lecture performance and distribution of prints.
“Image Syndrome” is an exploration of violent imagery captured by current journalistic photography and morphing them into drawings, text, and screenshots, recording, and returning to the internet (through Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube). How do we realise the images on the internet as they are coming from all different incidents, with no authors, perspectives, or tools? Specifically, the political events, riots, and protest imagery were bombarded through various internet platforms. What is the impact of these images? Do they communicate, create empathy, and awareness, or remain in the spectacle of the events? What kind of aesthetic does this imagery have? Do they communicate through their aesthetic? Receiving this imagery of violence on our phones becomes a regular activity of life, leading to violence as a new normal. The drawing attempts to revisit the imagery of violence in India. Materialising the image from the screen and giving it physicality, where drawing takes place.
