How many distorted glamorous paths we should walk and how many neon skies, valleys of darkness and palaces of glory, streets of loneliness and screams of colours until we reach our destination.., only to realise it is the starting point.. and there is no finish line. Homage to Roland Barthes’ The Fashion System & A Lover’s Discourse. Memory is perishable, and our brain is neuroplastic. So Happiness is possible. All over again.
BEHAVIOUR
A neon carnival of lights and micro-cinema network of cables and sensors surround the painting – LED lights surround the work with LCD screen and proximity sensor. The number of audience who come close to the work is recorded and based on this movement the neo-pixels behave. The film is broadcasted at the bottom on the small screen.
