In early film craft, day for night was when night scenes were shot in the day, a trick of necessity. Night for Day points the same idea in the reverse direction. Choreographed together, screens fill the space with electric, sonic, filmic and other uncategorisable works from 2002 to 2015, that took place in the nights of homes and monuments; basements and gardens; on balconies and in the streets of Bombay, Delhi, Kabul and Dakar, and other places. A dozen works explore time, energies and imagination outside, over and under work, by going for the other side of "the everyday".

 

In this way, CAMP brings into the gallery the spirit of what used to be called the "virtual", which once broke the horizon of what is (or what could have been) possible to see, hear or sense. 

 

Night for Day is a Part IV of CAMPs series of solo exhibitions, titled As If.  The exhibition is a collaboration with Experimenter Gallery, Calcutta.
