Description
Reena Saini Kallat: Sitelines explores the tension between barriers and mobility in a world shaped by interaction. Her practice examines divisive narratives around national borders, identity, and self-image, as well as social and psychological barriers. Kallat's work reveals the idea of isolation as an illusion, suggesting instead that embracing pluralism of cultures can be a powerful force. She uses motifs such as hybrid animals and plants, and the river, to show how nature defies violent cleaving through land and culture. Through her use of electric cables twisted to resemble barbed wire, Kallat highlights the paradox of technology's role in both restricting movement and facilitating free flow of information.
