Invisible me hurts. Not all of it, just one elusive spot. We humans are cursed with an anatomy that allows us only 50 per cent visibility of status quo. The back is invisible except to the accomplished contortionist. Mirrors might help, but I have never had much time for them. My back, though, is a chatterbox. It broadcasts its opinions vertebra by vertebra and has grown more opinionated and temperamental with age. I can live with that. What I can’t get used to is that one invisible spot.

If art is a form of the mind’s reflection on itself and its surroundings, then the exhibition “Reverie. Pause. Rupture” (April 2 to May 20),curated by Gayatri Sinha at the new space of Anant Art Gallery in Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi, shows a post-apocalyptic world.
