HANDS UP
ACTION NO. 24
05:11 minute video instead on Instagram, 2022
The open book in the hands of some individuals in various public places in the city of Amravati (Maharashtra) and films it. The book is a diary that recorded everyday notes along with ink and gouache drawings of photographs depicting protests and violence in New Delhi that have been circulating on the internet earlier this year. Hands Up –the title suggesting both assent and participation– interrupts people’s routine in public spaces –a space viewed as a menace during these Covid-19 times– and is an invitation to discussion. It also brings into the physical public sphere and then, via this video, back online images that were supposed to stay on the internet, creating an overlap of times and geographies. The body is imprinted in these drawings and their tactility takes to the screen a certain incarnation. Shelare is interested in the traces left by his works and his performances. In this action, in solidarity with the protesters, Shelare wants to keep alive their engagement and perpetuate the story; this work becoming a reminder of the oppressed past of India and its fascist present and future.

IMAGE SYNDROME
Text, Conversation, and Circulation of Images
Studio Jangpura, Delhi, India, 2023.
Receiving imagery of violence on our phones becomes a regular activity of life, leading to violence as the new normal. The political subtext of this project is also a critique of the way ruling dispensations make use of ‘clickworkers’ who are employed as trolls. The accelerated dissemination of violent imagery is often channeled through these ‘clickworkers’ as means to legitimise power and terrorise dissenting voices.
