The Knotting Project
Performance
The installation consists of thousands of knots, the condition of psyche- outrage, sadness, love, desire and remembrance. The massive red knots suspended from ceiling flowing downwards. The waterfall turned into bloody red alluding fear of looming violence and is balanced by the landscape, the portrait parts evolved out from knots and the silent persistence of hoping action of knotting and transforming energy to objects. The Performer wearing the Kashmiri garment of knots and performs an on-going simple task of knotting.
As each visitor enters the space, one is asked to cut the colorful threads hung near the entrance, and offer the thread to performer who continuously knots the sacred holders and take over the area beneath the red flow of the floor. The Knotting project is a situation of the psyche alluding to unfulfilled desires, outrage, sadness, violence, love and is longing for silent persistence of hoping knots.
