Black Box

Till 15 February

Shreshta Premnath’s collection, titled ‘Black Box’, consists of three artworks in various media. Her ‘Freedom of the Seas’ is a series of five digital composite prints constructed out of images mined from Flickr.com depicting the cruise ship Freedom of the Seas sinking. ‘Contraband’, the second in the series, comprises three aluminium trunks containing indigenous medicinal plant species whose isolated genes have been patented by American pharmaceutical corporations for their medicinal properties. ‘Phantom Moon’ is a two-channel video installation in which the first photograph of the earth, as seen from the moon, is transformed into a ‘seascape’ of half-tone dots as a camera scans over it. This is juxtaposed against a slide projection of a camera circumambulating a model blue whale displayed at the New York Natural History Museum, with audio scripts taken from news reports, documentaries and even written by the artist.
