Spectacles without a stage – an overview of Preksha Tater’s works
This aspect of inclusion of the mundane appears again when she
was working in the space of a fashion and design store, ‘Bombay
electric’. She chooses a discarded wooden doll, aestheticised it with
repeated use of price tags. Even the rejected is commodified here.
The invisible becomes visible to the public life again. Public spaces
intrigues her into creating dialogues between the public domain and
the spectator .The village gathering under a tree forms a discursive
space, a space of common interaction and celebration. Keeping this in
mind she chooses to work on a tree and the space around it in ‘Yatoor
international nature art residency’ in South Korea. That tree has an
earlier installation which was falling apart .She restored it, fenced the
tree, secluding/marking it as a personalised space and on the tree she
hung a form like a beehive made of pine cones .Nothing is intrusive
but from the environment only.
