Unique Biennale installation conveys survival beyond decay
Veda Kolleri's installation displayed at Pepper House, Kochi.

Kochi: The Kochi-Muziris Biennale, which is on here for the last couple of months, has so far showcased several items of contemporary art. An installation from degenerating substances also stands out among the items on display at various venues. Artist Veda Kolleri is behind this unique piece.

Veda has used materials that decay when exposed to the elements.

She started using biodegradable items in her works as a Master’s student of Fine Arts at the Shiv Nadar University, Noida.

Decayed wood, mud, dry leaves, grass, animal bones, thorns and honeycombs were used for this art work. It was made from items she had collected during her journey from Noida to Kochi.

Rain in Kerala too has influenced my work, Veda revealed.

At the Biennale venue, she has been successful in creating a unique atmosphere with short videos, images, drawings and writings. Her installation creates a feeling of walking with death. Veda says it represents life’s survival beyond degeneration.

Veda's installation is displayed at Pepper House, Kochi.
