Functioning within the mode of performative photography, the work of Mumbai based artist Mansi Bhatt often lends itself to sculptural and cinematic transformation. Mansi foresees performance art as an act of regenerative space where the performers’ presence is seen and reminisced through the prosthetic; observed in Adbhut Lok (Birla Kolkata, 2019), Past Horticulturist (The Guild, 2018), Making Space (Sakshi, 2019). Bastard’s callings to her last inheritance: Conservative Landscapes (Goethe, 2019) her photo series interlaces a layered debate around women, possession and their frictional politics.
In her exhibit A Suite she took on the environment of small town India which further exhibited with her other photo installations at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2016–17. In her performances, she prepares through a larger than life persona to perform a heroic act with three immediate elements of our lives—land, water and sky—that we consume and get consumed by, often through the lens of gender and the ecosystems we inhabit. She has shown her works since 2006 in India and abroad. The artist lives and works in Mumbai.
