Vasundhara Shankari Sellamuthu , Domino thiruvizha, LED lights, bamboo, coir rope, casurina poles, 7 x 10 feet, 2019
The pop-up outdoor installation Domino thiruvizha, 2019, recreates Le Corbusier‘s canonical drawing ‘The Domino House,’ a precedent for every modern building using a column and grid structure. Through the popular medium of festival icon lights, I celebrate the self built architect-less homes visible in the urban sprawl of India. The multi coloured lights acknowledge the unending customisation enabled by the Domino House principle.
