Working Onsite


Working outside involves both intense physical exertion and mental involvement. Bright sun above you, constant crowd passing by that want to know what you are doing, your hand doesn't stop working, 
If you are working on floor you need to consider the traffic. Site inspection and awareness are also very important. Please carry sun block, glares, liquids, fruits, food, water, appropriate clothes, sport shoes and constantly take breaks. 

Working onsite is a stimulating cycle of responding to queries. You may ask what these queries are but what’s more important is how each intervention is aimed at informing those queries and not resolving them. This constant state of forming queries helps me think and respond through site. 

The first and the most important thing is to ask for permission. You are just leaving an image behind but the occupants have to live with that image. As the aim of this process is not pasting a pretty picture on the wall, but at the same time being efficient in whatever medium you choose to execute your work with onsite.

This was my first intervention in a public space. 
The query that I was trying to address here was where I place myself as a public artist.
