In the Indian town of Mumbai, Jitish Kallat witnessed a scene of extreme violence: a demolition drive on makeshift homes, some of them occupied for many years, along a large wall on the edge of railroad tracks. A few weeks later, the urban architecture had started to reappropriate the wall these tiny homes had leant on. Movie posters and advertising bills covered fresh traces of domestic occupation - electric wires, clothes, calendars and holy pictures, paint... Jitish Kallat's lenticular pictures bring out the marks stamped by brutal demolition and the pathetic remains of a bygone life.
