Kawita Vatanajyankur creates video recordings of performances that employ the human body to highlight the intersection of materialism and grueling contemporary labor conditions. A Symphony Dyed Blue was inspired by the 2017 film River Blue, a documentary that focused on a river polluted by the chemical dyes discharged from a clothing factory. Vatanajyankur’s contorted body acts as a metal machine, spinning yarns within a pool of toxic water filled with blue dyes and white foam. The sounds of water and metal being struck by something can be heard in the work, which poses questions about the environmental impact of modern society and its evolution. In addition to the 2nd floor exhibition gallery, Vatanajyankur’s work can be seen on the 1st floor of the museum, where one of her signature works is displayed. The Toilet depicts a woman in the home, with the artist transforming her body into a metaphor for the tools of domestic labor. While employing a colorful, painterly vertical composition, Vatanajyankur undergoes uncomfortable physical experiments to visualize the role of women performing housework.
