Within a cloudy vitrine, this artistic apparatus produces fragments of/from Indian history, in a tense dialogue between iconic moments, objects and acts. The charkha, spun in the quiet meditatively, once embodied the self-reliant defiance of colonial rule and industrial oppression, and the 3D printer creates pre-designed objects in one's immediate sphere. As the charkha lends the fibre for a civilisational reincarnation of the lota, these domestically operated devices weave, in the immediate present, the past and future of politics and of production. While histories are fabricated by the plastic fibres of the present, the clutter and noise of the empty vessels remind us of unfulfilled promises. By freezing this act of repetition within the hazy space of a museum vitrine, the work invites a strained and slow parsing of contemporaneity and crisis. Accumulating the debris of difference of our times within the clear container, the installation gestures towards the politics of history/making and the excavation of possible futures.
