Dr Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum presents, One Hundred Thousand Suns, the debut screening of Rohini Devasher’s compelling and immersive four channel video installation in India, curated by Tasneem Zakaria Mehta at the Special Project Space, Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum in collaboration with Project 88. Conceived in collaboration with Project 88, this solo exhibition also features Devasher’s Sol Drawings, Shadow Portraits and Skywatch, a series of embellished copper works, adorned with markings inspired by solar phenomena. Deutsche Bank’s ‘Artist of the Year’ for 2024, Rohini’s rigorous and research-driven body of work chronicles a decade of her practice as an eclipse chaser and amateur astronomer, as she delves into the intersections of science, art, and philosophy. For Rohini, the key to exploring new cosmologies between the human and the non-human lies in examining the interplay between place, observer, and observation.
