Debashis Sinha: The Known World brings together series of new, multi-sensory sound and video installations that explore ideas of loss and renewal, transience and permanence in the mundane routines of everyday life. Creating complex rhythms out of ordinary submerged sounds, he draws the audience’s attention to the details within the existing soundscapes in our environment. While Sinha’s sound installations examine ways of listening, his video installation challenges the audience’s passive and measured engagement with artworks in a gallery. Instead, he invites the audience to experience the
sounds, smells, images and objects surrounding them in order to expand their awareness of the temporal and spatial aspects of the present moment.

Debashis Sinha: The Known World is part of a developing initiative to support the presentation of new work by an artist from SAVAC’ s membership.
