PATHOS presented two artworks at ART Basel:
GUST OF WIND
This work is a continuation of the artist’s exploration of the language of lifelike physical movement and involuntary processes such as emotion and the making of meaning.
The work consists of a framed glass box containing a blank A4 sheet of paper. When someone approaches or passes by the work, the sheet is mechanically animated, as if it was moved by a momentary gust of wind.
The animation works as a reenactment of a found movement that happened and was captured in the the artists’ Bangalore studio. The work only displays this one specific gust of wind, when someone is near the work. The glass box shields the paper from actual air currents and points to its artificiality.
