Box One: Father

This image shows a work that is part of the exhibition, 'The Sher-Gil Archive: An Installation.'

Excerpt from Kamala Kapoor, The Art Of Vivan Sundaram, Lustre Press, Roli Books, New Delhi, 2002:

'The box with its reconstruction of history traces, of personal objects, and articles of clothing, becomes as it were a reliquary holding evocations of life, as well as of fiction, that must linger somewhere behind the facade of documentary detachment.'
