“What is seen is not shown. What is heard may-or-may-not be received. But what is received is offered; felt, close on the skin, deep in the bones. Synesthetic strides cross the senses, not as perceptual overlaps in sensory venn diagrams, but as shadows that hearing casts understanding. It could be the other way round, and that would change what you see.” - An excerpt from Serendipity Arts Festival’s note on Parallel Exercises for Eyes, Ears and Feet.
Raqs Media Collective’s carpet-trail and video installations aim to engage one’s perceptual senses wholly, invoking them to feel each subtlety and every movement in what they sense temporally. The work challenges the individual to indulge in the synaesthesia of itself, with each aspect of itself conceptually “parallel” to the other.
Raqs Media Collective’s installation can be viewed at the 9th edition of the Serendipity Arts Festival in Panjim, Goa from 15th to 22nd December, 2024
