Expropriation

The neon sign, the epitome of the glitter of a metropolis, displayed an image of two hands that enter through the eyes and try to mould the person's brains, manipulating the mind through the seduction of the eye.

The work was featured as part of the exhibition 'The Witness' by Nalini Malani. The exhibition was curated by Tasneem Zakaria Mehta and Johan Pijnappel. In this exhibition, Nalini Malani explored concepts and concerns that have preoccupied her for decades - notions of oppression and dominance, of freedom and justice.
