Medical and Cultural Context
2018
Documentation Book/ Thesis project / Works in Progress
Essentially Normal Studies evolved from a graduation thesis project* exploring art, invisibility, illness and disability against a larger medical / cultural conditioning. Below are selected pages from a documentation journey, involving research, archiving, reflections and works in progress. The installation was first exhibited at the Srishti Collective 2018 and later as a solo exhibition at Gallery Sumukha, Bangalore.
