6. Experience
Redesigning a photography exhibition.
Inspiration:
learning photography taught me
the value of discovering a place. it
was only then that I actually started
liking the place where I was
spending four years of my life.
In 60 days I travelled to almost every
corner of Guwahati city, interacted
with hundreds of local people and
clicked some 4500 photographs.
When I came back after all this, I
was in love with the city.
To create a similar effect we fill a room with all this content about
Guwahati city; we close all the lights and provide people with a
torch to wander around the room.

Aim:
to build up a series of encounters
between the viewer and the content
to bring out a sense of personal
discovery.
How it works?
When the people enter the room
the people choose what they
wish to see; how they wish to
see; where they want to start and Different colours indicate the different paths taken by different
end and even where they stop. people. It also shows the different versions of the city all
these people claim to know.
Their choices are ptheir only guide.

8. Fur niture
Inspired from local chai Khokhas
Inspiration:
A Khokha(as we fondly called it in
our college) is found at almost every
corner in Indian cities. These cheap
places invite people from everywhere;
different geographies, economies,
habits, languages and behaviours.
These shabby places act as intersections
of stories from all these quarters.
Going just by its face makes us
invisible to all these amazing stories.
The table of Stories
appears as any normal table but when one observes it
closely, the table reveals itself to the observer.
