When the night gets darker, it appears amidst silence. The closer we get, the more heartwrenching it is. It is a weapon. It captures everything with its enormous shadow. Sea, buildings and crowds vanish in an instant. It moves closer and closer, and I can only see darkness...
On 5th & 6th May 2012, the Supermoon graces the night of our city. The moon on its closest approach to earth is bigger and brighter than ever. We indulged in its tenderness and beauty, and were fascinated by its myths. Yet it triggered high tides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Moon can be nature’s weapon. By juxtaposing two objects of different characters – poetic and destructive, the artists let their thoughts wander freely, trying to form connections, and yearning to be inspired. It is an exploration of inner-most feelings towards the city/the surroundings as well as a journey to unexploited area of the mind & everyday life.
