Catalogue of Navjot's touring exhibition in 2004 and 2005, featuring her video installations Mumbai Meri Jaan, 2004 and Lacuna in Testimony, 2003. Mumbai Meri Jaan is a psychological interpretation of narrated experiences of three teenagers who have come to Mumbai city for different reasons and how they are dealing with the reality of their dreams. Lacuna in Testimony is about attempting to listen to testimonies and to question whether one can truly enumerate and describe these events. Nancy Adajania wrote, 'Navjot's video works are meditations on communication and its difficulties, on the gap between the seen and the interpreted, the shown and the spoken, the immenseness of a narrative and its inexhaustible versions. Her vocabulary shuttles between the fixity of a documented reality and the poetics of abstraction.' The catalogue includes artist biography, credits and concepts of the two video works.
