studio and practiceimage in boomerang  

At an Open Studio at the Jungpura Artist common space in New Delhi, the idea of ‘Frictional Awareness’ was explored through a lecture performance titled ‘Image in Boomerang’. The text brings in the landscape that moves beyond a conventional understanding of friction as mere resistance—framing it instead as a charged expression capable of generating differential images, affects, and relations. Engaging with friction, the text invokes instances and relations across cosmic materiality, contributing to the ongoing shaping and un-shaping of landscapes.

An identification with the ‘Boomerang’ sense is an inclination to ‘swing’ - to Boomerang is to mean to desire for the disturbance or a rhythm; in other words, it is to create more infrastructures/relations - a disturbance that cuts out to rupture, to allow for revealing and the creation of variations of knowing. It’s a disturbance, to Boomerang is to collapse [witnessing] on histories, or to ruminate on the past for a temporal swing.
