Manjunath
believes that an ability to perceive matter beyond one’s bodily scale allows an
understanding of the relation between space and matter afresh. For example, one
experiences the space under the tree in conjunction with the tunes of unseen
elements like the sound of birds, the wind, piercing light, temperature
variation etc. This is possible only when you start looking “beyond” the tree
into other dimensions. This talk enquires into the methods of perceiving the reality
of hidden forces like gravity, heaviness of earth, direction of wind, variation
of pressure and their translation into form and space.
