INTERSECTION

In the city there are many intersections. It is divided as well as connected by intersections. City breaks us, also joins us. I and the city create a story each time I meet its roads. The roads of the city describe our undefined destinations. Yet we thrive to go through the intersections to meet our goals. But we overlook often the journey, and only pay heed to the ‘intention’ of destination, whereas the journey is chaotically poetic to hold on.

In this performance, I intend to cross the road to go to the next level. I am continuously crossing the road to go to my destination. Yet I am-at-the same place where I started. There lies the philosophy of this act.

I will start the walk with playful manner with joy but I don’t know where it will end. My performance will influence me to go to the next level, which I am yet to explore. Trying to make a harmony with chaos is my intention.

During my 45 minutes of performance on the busy road of Shahbag, Dhaka (mainly keep crossing) I will try to build a connection with people, vehicles and surrounding. I can only do it while I’m in that situation. My focus is only to intersect! When the environment is dark, I use light to enlighten the surrounding!
