A piece from ‘Leaving Home’ made in 2008. 18 years on and happy to meet it again in perfectly running condition. Now a seamless part of a ‘Breath Held Long’ at the Ludwig Museum Koblenz. All things must end to make way for regeneration - in matter and perception

The Elephant in the Room-
The real story
Nine blind men encountered an elephant for the first time, and each touched a different part to understand what it was. The first felt the wide flank and called it a wall, the second grabbed the squirming trunk and called it a snake, and the third stroked the sharp tusk, believing it was a spear. The fourth hugged the massive leg and mistook it for a tree trunk, the fifth felt the flapping ear and called it a fan, while the sixth held the hairy tail and called it a rope. The seventh reached up under the rounded belly and called it a ceiling, the eighth felt the hard knee joint and called it a boulder, and the ninth touched the heavy jaw, claiming it was a grindstone. A fierce argument broke out as each man insisted his partial experience was the absolute truth. A passing king stopped the shouting, explaining that each man held only a fraction of the reality and that they could only see the whole elephant by putting their unique pieces together.

A Breath Held Long
The video proposes an intersection between voice, body and the city and the act of breathing as a metaphor for a life within an urban landscape. The work brings together a group of actors and singers from Mumbai whose performances unfold through a series of single-line narratives and music. The lines, without punctuation, that speaks of short personal events within the city, demand an awareness of breath as a temporal medium. The act of breathing in and out become compositional devices- intervals through which rhythm and exhaustion surface as material conditions for speaking and being.

Set against the backdrop of Mumbai, the video acknowledges the impossibility of silence within the city. The urban atmosphere, agitated and continuous, seeps into almost every frame. Noise of the city refuses relegation to background. It becomes part of the fabric of a non-linear narrative that collapses the boundary between the city’s collective roar and the performer’s internal state of being. The work positions this density not as disruption but as ground: the condition through which subjectivity is articulated and sustained.
