DUNIYA PARCHHAIYON KI / Multi-Channel Installation exhibited at Arthshila, Delhi

Commissioned by film historian and curator Ashish Rajadhyaksha and Arthshila, Delhi to

create original art works for the exhibition in collaboration with Yashaswini Raghunandan

and Arbab Ahmad.


Responsible for research and conceptualization, end to end production, filming and artistic

creation of multi-channel installations on display across all three galleries.


Duniya Parchhaiyon Ki (Sep 2025 - Jan 2026) a multilayered exhibition explores perhaps the most defining trait of Hindi cinema: its elusiveness. Always present, always just beyond grasp, it speaks in images and sounds that are intimately familiar yet impossible to fully hold.


This exhibition invites you into that shifting space not to resolve its mysteries, but to inhabit

them. Hindi cinema is more than narrative; it is a shared cultural memory. A glance, a line of

dialogue, a haunting tune, these fragments move through the everyday life of modern India,

shaping how we feel, remember, and imagine. This intangible aura, the cinematic trace, is what

the exhibition seeks to evoke.


At its heart are over 300 artifacts from Arthshila’s collection — posters, lobby cards, song

booklets, and film ephemera each carrying layers of affect and history. Interwoven with these is

a sensory experience of sound and moving images, drifting across multiple monitors and

echoing throughout the space, mimicking the way cinema filters into streets, markets, and

memories.
