The concept of “a spiritual journey between the artist and soul” is taken from a narrative called “Two Artists” by a renowned writer Shibabrata Barman. The story depicts a surreal concept of an artist, who realizes there’s someone on the other side of the canvas, who slowly is developing the painting along with him. He says the canvas feels like a tunnel or a rope which is connected between two parallel worlds like an umbilical cord of twins.
How we perceived the idea to give it a pictorial and kinetic form is what if two artists are not only living beings but
also could be the inanimate symbol or the connection between a pure inner self and outer self or a submerged thought in the memory, looks like endless repetitive patterns which appears so often in dreams.
We shall give it a non-narrative shape with an intimate performance, background sound and a visual of a transparent sheet, which will gradually take abstract shapes. The performance will be a bodily and psychologically engaging representation where viewers also become part of the process. The process will be developed with time and space following a meditative journey between the artists and the viewers.
