A walk around the periphery of the constituency of Malviya Nagar (2003)

walk as action and map

Performed during a residency at the Khoj International Artists Residency, A walk around the periphery of the constituency of Malviya Nagar was inspired by the lack of available data about the general population of Delhi. Seeing this lack as a political invalidation of the local population, The walk attempts to count and map overlooked people and situations. It involved a slow walk over many days along the 40 kilometre circumference of this political zone. Shanties, vendors, smells, certain trees and plants were arbitrarily mapped en route.
