"Visual Symphony" arose from a  curiosity sparked by my encounter with Susanta Paul’s installation art 'A Narration' at Tala Prattoy in 2023. This experience became the context of my project, as I sought to explore how art can engage and amplify our agencies in ways that go beyond conventional forms of visual storytelling.

​

In installation art, the immersive experience often gets lost when documented, as the enhanced layers of sense perception and emotional depth are difficult to seize through static imagery or video alone. Recognizing this, I began to map out ways to translate these fleeting, nuanced moments into a form, where motion and sound play a pivotal role.

 

By introducing slowness as a key methodology, my intent is to create an experience that invites the audience into a deliberate, meditative state, one that requires their patience and presence to fully grasp. This slower pace allows for deeper reflection, making space for a different kind of narrative—one that moves with the rhythms of sound, the passage of time, and the subtle shifts of perception.

​

The project stretchs the boundaries of how we engage with art, moving beyond the limitations of documentation to foster an encounter that is as visceral as it is thought-provoking.

Visual Symphony was first screened in Pujo Silpo 2023, at Kolkata Mahar Kunja organised by Maya Art Space as a response to the theme "The Future of Durga Puja Art Festival".
