Digital Varthapalak

This is a digital signboard. Visitors were invited to key-in words, phrases and observations, announcements. This was placed against a backdrop of photocopied covers of a series of Hindi dramas popular in small towns and cities across North India. Each cover contains a passport photo and a unique poetic introduction to the writer. The drama titles evoke a world of conflict, violence and desire. Together they act as an invitation to the viewer to read the play and enter that world.

From submissions by:
Kamal K. Mishra, Hindi Hridyasthali mein Jasoosi Upanyason va Inke Pathakon ka Ek Samaajik Itihaas (A Social History of Detective Novels and Their Readership in the Hindi Heartland)
