Multitude Of Sins
The entrance door engages the sensory experiences of touch and sound as it leaps into a rabbit hole of memory. The existing site door was retrofitted to give it a renewed lease of colour and elemental play. A radial octet of hand horns occupies the centre while bicycle bells stipple the scarlet door.

Multitude Of Sins
Welcome to the circus! The acts of whimsical fanfare begin to unfold right at the entrance. The art installation adjacent to the entrance passageway comprises an electric pole found in a scrapyard which was accessorised with defunct appliances and gadgets like a plasma television, CD players, and retro computer speakers in zesty colours! The installation was further made to feel like a slice of life representation with the inclusion of repurposed wire from which dangle tattered clothes, shoes, and kites — an extremely quintessentially Indian visual that makes a debut in every mohalla (street).

A series of arches dot the passage when one makes their way inside. Bathed in a lively warm teal hue, these arches made of scrap metal pose as architectural features to create a sense of movement as one traverses the space. Grunge chandeliers made of bike chains and metal filings levitate over the passageway, flanked by upcycled vehicle headlights that present themselves as bespoke luminaires

The billing counter stretches itself along the expanse of the passageway and culminates as a live salad counter on the far end.

The billing counter is a classic steampunk piece brought to life by ingeniously collaging arbitrary junk upon the front elevation of the counter in collaboration with Mechanimal.

The carcass of the live salad counter was rendered in a stark black hue because of the snippets of discarded tyre patches. Worn out tyres were salvaged, sliced into smaller portions, and consequently nailed into place, an experimental project inching upon insanity as it stretched over the course of a month. This process resulted in an ebony canvas that was layered with leather trimmings, fringes, discarded rubber tyres, manhole covers, safety pins, pipe sections, and metal tacks creating a monochrome mosaic.
