The exhibition brings together the works of four female artists who hail from Kolkata. Their composite and layered works essay an inter-generational conversation about synthesized contaminants that impel us, governing our lifestyles. Each artist stages an encounter with non-human actants - plankton, animals, plants - that are caught up in a helpless becoming at the hand of man. Ranging from melancholic to monstrous, these becomings warn us against landscapes to come, transformed beyond recognition and grown allergic to our existence as a species. Speculative or documentary, the works are rooted within urban environments that the artists came to inhabit, exposing these seemingly civilized spaces as nested sites of multi-species cohabitation and conflict. Seduced into an inhospitable territory, the viewer is fixed and surveyed by a gaze that is utterly alien. It is a gaze that is as impenetrable as it is unforgiving; a gaze that asks for accountability and pronounces judgement.
