A conversation with the landscape

The show titled 'The Y script for non-person' at Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad, by Naini Arora showcases a body of works on paper in drawings and woodcut prints along with an installation of clay figures.

Naini Arora is a visual media-based artist working in drawings, handmade prints, photography and clay. She is a doctoral candidate at CEH, IIIT Hyderabad. Her research revolves around practice and theory with focus on photography.

The works bring in the visible and invisible divisions and separations that exist. A person is surrounded by self-contradictory constructions within and without oneself. Such contradiction is seen in the boders, the structure to support barb wires is in the shape of Y and Y as a letter stands for why, the artist thinks that the boundary itself is then questioning its own existence. It stands in a conversation with the landscape and surroundings.

She has held exhibitions at national and international venues recent being, her participation at India week 2017 in Hamburg, Germany. She facilitates courses and projects at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore.
