THE IRREGULAR MUSEUM

Our elective module that took place during the monsoon semester in 2020 was conducted online. Our subject was object designing. Post our final presentations we realized that all our objects were of a scale that would fit on a table. Every day we would take a corner, sit down at the table, open our laptops and start working. Our gaze had been fixed on the table for so long that our minds were concentrated in that space that reflected through our objects.

CHANGING PERSPECTIVE

This lockdown has slowed down time for me. Especially when there is no work or lectures. This slowing of time helped me to start observing various different things throughout the day. All these different things are of different scales and come out from the different interests I have. These might be things that I always wanted to observe or do but couldn't because of work. I finally got to start planting shrubs on my balcony. I usually had never done this but I have now started observing every tiny new leaf that grows and its fascinating to track its growth.

Then I started trying to use my action figure to click photos using them. It brought a new perspective of using the small toys to make them look at the actual scale using the camera. During summers I started to see lots of space videos on YouTube and astrophotography. Though I don't have a proper setup to do it I managed to capture the moon, Jupiter, and Saturn using my camera in a single frame. I am sure I would not have done anything from the things above if not because of the lockdown.
