An immersive art experience, Vichitra taps into our curiosity to always peek into a room
You can see your neighbours scurry in and out of the drawing room and kitchen—getting their coffee while you sip yours. The chaos of their children probably getting ready for school, their dog who asks them to play fetch as they make a mad dash for the office. Artist Tejal Patni capitalizes on our shameless curiosity about others’ homes and their lives while we navigate ours. “We always look right? Even if we don’t mean to,” he remarks, when we speak to him over the phone about his new immersive show Vichitra.
Patni, primarily a fashion photographer, is changing tactics this year to try something that excites him and which he guarantees will give all of our senses a hell of a ride. The idea of peeking into homes struck when he caught himself doing it. “I was inspired by my time in Delhi where I was living in a hotel and right outside the windows was a half constructed, one-storey building that already had residents,” he says. “The walls were not fully constructed yet so you could see them sitting around, their furniture, their lives.”
