“Towards the end of the Second World War, Enrico Piaggio was driven to start up production again by the idea of offering the widest possible market a low-cost product. And, with this idea in mind, the factory at Biella produced a motor-scooter. I found this object at the “Heilig’s Blechle” scooter workshop at Industriebahn Berlin which has strong connection with my nativity and popular image across globe. I integrated with single channel animated video fused with many hand gestures movements – performed by participants of the BAI studio program – with signs and symbols of protagonist in the Indian idols. The movement and repeated action exploring the commodity of industrialize and how human habitual impacts mundane life for all of us is commoditised, tortured in mindless conflicts which are rendered sites of violation, political intolerance, and sexual impulse in urban modernity with pains of urban development over again and again.” (Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan)
