Guardians in a Dystopic Garden is set among remnant bookshelves of a library, a storehouse of knowledge, in which Ranbir Kaleka’s multi-layered dreamscape unfolds. The work confronts the glamour and divine order of an Arcadian garden with human conquest and control.
A cast of animal characters in resonance with the hidden rhythms of the world amongst shadows of man’s invasion upon this natural harmony — an assault rifle, an army helmet floating in the fountain pool, bullets strewn on the ground.
This masterpiece using various cotton and silk thread techniques, metallic bullion and 3D elements took 7000 hours to complete.
