Co-ordinates 28.8N 77.15E

In listing a set of latitude and longitude measurements, bracketed by two calendar years, this installation names a city called Delhi and a time that feels like the first two years of the twenty-first century. In doing so, the syntax of space-time co-ordinates also connects the city as a location to the abstractions of other spaces and times. These co-ordinates become a frame within which the work witnesses the experience of living in Delhi in terms of the constant conflict over control of space and over the different meanings that accrue to space. The installation presents each unit of space - public or residential - as being open to a variety of conflicting claims made by inhabitants, transients, users, owners, and planners. It witnesses the city as the battleground of a daily civil war between the masterplan and the moment.
