METAMORPHOSIS allied design 2015-2016
‘As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.’ METAMORPHISIS Franz Kafka The project takes this text as a point of departure to reimagine the relationship of body and space. The narrative goes on to describe the strangeness of relationship of Gregor’s new body and his surroundings as he wriggles on his back unable to turn over, as he watches his many jointed limbs flail over his segmented belly or as he is crouched at a corner on the ceiling. Students studied the form, habits, movement etc of an insect/ crawler of their choice. They used this understanding to transform their bodies and its relationship with the surroundings by exploring ideas of filters, interfaces, apparatus.etc Studio Faculty : Kausik Mukhopadhyay, Sonal Sundararajan, Dipie Mahidharia, Mansi Bhatt, Nibedita Mishra, Deepti Talpade, Rhea Shah, Shreya Nagrath, Deepshikha Jaiswal, Shipra Shete, Sanjana Sidhra.
