Baiju Parthan |
|
In defiance of physical limits, Baiju Parthan’s (b. 1956, in Kerala) Liquid Memory portrays both embodied time and endlessness. ‘Endlessness has become a dream of immortality in advanced capitalist society, whether through medical science, prosthesis, or proposals involving bionic, or post-human anatomy’. Time space and movement collide beyond the known. There is conflict between permanence and impermanence, finitude and infinitude. And a desire to exceed the human condition. However the body that represents the self/ the individual cannot be obliterated permanently. It acts; it operates within the social circuit. Thus the body becomes an instrument that can register time and become witness in it.
He lives and works in Mumbai.
