Meet Your Artist: Sunil Padwal I Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2016

As you walk into the room where artist Sunil Padwal’s installation ‘Room for Lies’ is set up, you feel that you have entered a place that narrates a lot of stories. The walls of the room at Aspinwall House are adorned with over 600 photographs, drawings and collectibles that represent Mumbai, a place where Sunil was born and brought up. Like a mosaic pieced together from the re-framed debris of Mumbai,they show us the intimacy of the public through the artist's gaze and hand. We see a goat by itself, a driver in a car, an archway, a single leaf, a sickle, a chair. These are the mundane, banal objects of our lives that nevertheless become freighted with meaning when juxtaposed next to each other. This unique multiplicity conveys the idea that the quotidian is drawn together by artistic practice while remaining separated and distinct. It is through re-framing the world around us that we begin to catch sight of the chaotic completeness that makes a place 'a place' that give meaning to our world.
