The exhibition In Suspension shows a single work of the artist Rini Tandon. The installed object here is a three dimensional user tool that has been alienated from its digital function, to operate as an indicator of a larger sculptural drama* (*Tennessee Williams), assuming the space we walk in. The object Juxtaposing The Absent as a time-bar in real space, levitates between two worlds of fluctuating juxtaposition, linking and annulling two realities in diametrical opposition– referring to neither given film sequences nor an organization of imagery, but to a montage of absences in present-continuous at all times. Suspending the virtual, the dislocated object serves the position of an unsigned witness that holds no particular point of view.
