EXHIBITION

About the Artists

About the Exhibition

Sumantra Sengupta’s work on India and WW1 brings forward the systemicdimension of WW1, now more commonly brought under the concept of theanthropocene in the academic parlance. It addresses this issue in a verycontextualized manner by bringing together archival material related to Indianparticipation in the Great War on the one hand and muslin, a traditional Indianfabric, on the other. Muslin was commonly used as a bandage for injured soldiersduring the WWI. This thinnest of all fabrics, delicate, intricate and fragile, alsorepresents the world of the artisans who were violently marginalized by theindustrial revolution that culminated in the WWI, a paroxysmal expression of thecompetition between the industrial nations, dragging the whole world in theirdestructive madness.

With the use of archival photography the reality of India and WWI provides thecanvas of Hahakar, such as this picture of soldiers embarking on a ship. The webweaved by the artist around the soldiers and their names, referring to the onesengraved in the India Gate, reminds us of the nature of the soldier’s life in time ofwar, a target constantly exposed to the fatal shot.Taking off from the vernacular and the contextualized dimension of India’sinvolvement in WWI Sumatra Sengupta expands the scope of his evocation of theconflict to a universal dimension: the Hahakar.
