Open studio by Sandip Kuriakose

The focus of Sandip’s work has been an examination of power structures in the production and circulation of various kinds of intimacy in public, sexual, and social media interactions. Based on the ethnographic, archival, and biographical, his practice mines different visual cultures and found material to understand the failure of systems and the production of counter-systems that bear a glitchy memory of the original. He is interested in the spatiality of desire and what space does to the creation of varying types of desires.

His primary materials are photography, text, and publications. Photography as a tool of re-telling fiction has been of primary focus these last few years. This takes the form of conceptualizing and creating images sculpturally that are shot and take the final form of a photograph. He takes material from the public domain: cruising spaces, legal documents, newspapers, magazines, and social media, and places these in conditions where they play off each other so that new forms of reading can be realized. The manipulation and re-use of objects and images collected from these sources are, in many ways, the premise of his visual practice. This overlaps with his use of collage as form, which simultaneously ‘destructures’ and ‘restructures’ material. In its ability to archive and flatten the mark-making process, collage then becomes that which it seeks to represent.
