Sheba Chachhi

'Tales from the City'

Sheba Chachhi's past body of work ranging from the near journalistic activist era to the semi documentative extracts of the ascetic women to the more immediate works using ambitious methods of mediatic installations made her a iconic presence within the residency context.

Sheba as planned displayed four objects, which acted on photographs. The basic apparatus bridged the ergonomic line between a bioscope and a television set. Operating on a two electrically rotating motored coils the "objects" that resembled mini television sets through the two vertically parallel coils literally looped photo sequences. The sequences themselves were superimposed photographs printed in transparent plastic superimposing angular latitudinal satellite of the city with images of people living on the fringes of the urban metropolis.
