About the Item

Old Story Wood and Paint 30 x 36 in 76.2 x 91.4 cm This artwork is conceived as a reflection on memory and cultural continuity, where printed media becomes a vessel of history. Newspapers from diverse Indian publications are displayed alongside aged books, forming a dialogue between journalism and literature. Headlines in English and Hindi capture moments of political, social, and artistic significance, anchoring the work in lived experience. The books, with titles ranging from sacred texts to civic narratives, extend the scope from daily news to timeless philosophy. Their arrangement on a plain surface emphasizes the fragility and endurance of the written word. The juxtaposition of ephemeral newspapers with enduring volumes highlights the tension between immediacy and permanence. As an object, the installation bridges archive and art, transforming documentation into aesthetic meditation. Ultimately, Old Story stands as a layered testimony to collective memory, inviting viewers to contemplate the narratives that shape identity and history.
