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

'The odd transformation of commonplace objects — a sloping tabletop, tilting chairs, food served under the table instead of on top — all energise the sculptural installation, serving to intensify its metaphoric disjunctures: the concepts of community, shelter and sustenance, worked through reflective viewing.'
