I wanted to go to the Biennale the day i first read about it. I mean, it's India's first. And its happening in Kochi- the place, for strange reasons, I love the most. But I never wanted to write about the biennale. Because i felt my dictionary is too small to describe what i saw there and my art sense is too narrow to well and truly tell you what this is all about. But, a few minutes before, i was sitting alone in my room. And as many of you might be knowing, a lonely mind wanders, into woods that light has never seen. And i was frantically gasping for a breath of inspiration. And believe me, it is these images of what i saw there, at the biennale, that gave me that shot of adrenaline to move forward and find my path in this woods. And hence, here i am, writing about my inspiration of this year. The Biennale and the Art there. And i haven't seen it completely.
Part I
Where it all began.
We decided, we wanted to go to the Biennale. We took a "Jangar", the ferry, from Vypin to fort Kochi. And this wall is the first piece of art we saw there. And from what i understand, this wall represents my city, Kochi. (Excuse me for my crude Photography). Very wonderfully thought out representation of the ever growing and beautiful in so many ways city. There is no clue about who the artist is but who ever did this, has done a good job. This image makes you want to see more art. Those bubbles of excitement rises.
