Sudarshan Shetty: The Cave Inside
Sudarshan Shetty’s third solo exhibition at Galerie Krinzinger is set in the main rooms of the gallery. One part shows the installation The Cave Inside, combining sculptures and a oneminute video.
„What is the relationship between an object and consciousness? The 'Cave Inside' is an exploration into the internal states of being through memory and familiar world of domestic objects. The underlying artifice of putting on a show of art is at the root of the work that will be exhibited. The artist is performing a role; work is produced and displayed. The role of a person who lives by remembrance is being assumed in order to act out various imagined situations, either literally or at a poetic distance as an exploration into the efficacy and futility of objects as signifiers for an imagined life.“ (Sudarshan Shetty)
In the other room the artist is screening his one-hour film Shoonya Ghar. „The Film Film prompts the questions: Who is asleep and who is awake in this city, this home, this settlement, and this fortress of nothingness? What is the relation between building and consciousness? This film involves building and construction alongside characters enacting scenes in which dramatic action mobilizes conventions of representing birth, death, sex, dance, play, music and violence in local traditions of story-telling.“
