A reverence for the living, the essence of soil is a vibrant material.
A celebration of the beauty found in the decay, fragility, and incompleteness of ever-changing life and nature. Even inert matter made of earth seems like a breathing body. The physicality of the artwork awakens the bodily consciousness of the viewer. Formation and erosion embody the passage of time.
Murshed Jahangir’s artistic practice engages with matter, existence, time, and environment. At its core lies a living inquiry into the interconnectedness of life and nature. Using molds of collected readymade industrial objects, he creates forms and objects out of soil—initiating a philosophical dialogue of tension, transformation, and coexistence between mechanical structures and the natural essence of earth.
Sound—appears at the intersection of everyday life, labour, time, technology--as a testimony to an immersive mind-body experience. Sculptures and objects enter into conversations with one another and with space and time. A silent theatre unfolds, where material, form, texture, light, and air interact, drawing the viewer into a sensory realm.
The entire installation becomes “plateaus of impermanence,” where erosion, transformation, and traces of physical and mental labour converge. Where the object (earth), the process (sound), and the space (installation) together touch upon the complexity of existence. Soil is not merely a substance—it is a living entity; the sound of machinery is not just noise—it is the pulse of creation; and decay is not destruction—but the majesty of change. Permanence is not everything; in impermanence lies the true impetus of life.
In this search for “stillness in a restless world,” is the transience of soil a mirror to the transgressions of our own existence?”
- Kala Kendra
The exhibition will run until July 26.
Venue: 9/4, Block-D, Lalmatia, Kala Kendra.
Open daily from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
