Nandita Kumar for Hermès in Bombay

Creating environment scapes in the brain has lead Nandita’s interest in creating spaces where the viewer is immersed in a sensory/narrative experience. If a change in space due to migration could bring such a huge leap in consciousness for the artist herself, she wonders whether her installed spaces could create even a minute shift in human perception.By curating installations in one of the world’s biggest slums,Dharavi, a project based on health and nutrition, women openly discussed animatedly about sex, domestic violence, and birth control which are all taboo subjects in India. Nandita’s long term vision is to be able to implant interactive installations that can be more long term. Her interest in nature and environmental concerns has lead to explore three ambitious projects, one of which is an exploration of the relationship of nature and technology in miniature prototype called Element: Earth which plays sounds of the Earth under the sun. - See more at: http://nanditakumar.com/about-me/#sthash.Pk4RKhqb.dpuf
Nandita began her artistic career in the realist style. Migration has led her to explore the dynamic process of interplay between events, self and culture. Through the process of reflection and interpretation she started creating brain-scapes and narrated the different psychological experience that she faced due to the new environment.Little stories became large canvases oozing information explosion, emotions, dripping paints and a quest to reconstruct the fragmented reality. Soon she felt limited with painting and her vivid imagination lead her to explore animation and film. She wanted to create more immersive landscapes that contained sound, time and space where she could induce the viewer into a journey. The main protagonist “bRAINFLY” leads the viewer through environments created of body parts. Her films include The Linear of Nightmare, Studies on Dualism,The Birth of BrainFly and Tentacles of Dimensions. - See more at: http://nanditakumar.com/about-me/#sthash.Pk4RKhqb.dpuf
