Architects of the Future, 2014

 

In Architects of the Future, Ganesh integrates the visual languages of 60s and 70s science fiction and mid century Japanese comics with imagery loosely inspired by the Amar Chitra Katha–a long-running comic series that portrays traditional Indian epics, history, and mythology.  The four prints form a nonlinear narrative to suggest structural resonance between the forms of epic myth and science fiction. Reflections on memory, exploration, and loss occur in an alternate world in an imagined past and a distant future.  Within this retro-futurist universe, bodies, like time, are fluid.  They are doubled, dismembered, as well as exceeding their limits and extending into their surroundings.
