Two living bodies have been installed and improvised within a museum space, scattered with archaeological artifacts, terracotta pots and shreds, where acts of sacrifice and resurrection are being performed like a re-enactment of a lost and forgotten ritual. The video art got created mainly from unused rush material and still images gathered over last one decade, at different locations of archaeological, geological and anthropological importance in India starting from Palaeolithic to Megalithic cultures and held together by performances within museum spaces and poetic inter-titles related to the ideas of ritual love-death relationship.
