A Tourist Everywhere

Site-specific installation at the Jawahar Laka Kendra, Jaipur, India.This work was made during “A Tourist Everywhere’ an International artist’s residency organized by artists collective Sandarbh in 2015.

Jaipur based artist Hariom Potdar and Rahul Kumawat kindly assisted with the installation.

This is a simple work, in which I made road signs from the lyrics of a bollywood classic song “Musafir Hoon Yaaron”, originally sung by the late great singer Kishor Kumar for the film Parichay, 1972. The work is a reflection on my nomadic lifestyle, which has led me to live, work and travel globally.

Here are the original lyrics in hindi:

मुसाफिर हूँ यारों

Movie/Album: परिचय (1972)
Music By: आर.डी.बर्मन
Lyrics By: गुलज़ार
Performed By: किशोर कुमार

मुसाफ़िर हूँ यारों
ना घर है ना ठिकाना
मुझे चलते जाना है
बस चलते जाना

एक राह रुक गयी तो और जुड गयी
मैं मुड़ा तो साथ-साथ राह मुड़ गयी
हवा के परों पर मेरा आशियाना
मुसाफिर हूँ यारों…

दिन ने हाथ थाम कर इधर बिठा लिया
रात ने इशारे से उधर बुला लिया
सुबह से शाम से मेरा दोस्ताना
मुसाफ़िर हूँ यारों…
