We present the first iteration in India of Vivan Sundaram’s last work: a photography-based installation, titled Six stations of a life pursued (2022).

The work was exhibited at Sharjah Biennial 15 in 2023 as one among a distinct set of thirty artists’ projects that were close to the concerns of the curator-to-be, the late Okwui Enwezor, who had titled the Biennial Thinking historically in the present. After Enwezor’s passing in 2019, Hoor Al Qasimi, Director of Sharjah Art Foundation, continued with his title and curated SB15 with an inspired vision.

Vivan did not live to see his work installed at Sharjah. The present exhibition is special in all ways. It is offered by the galleries that have represented Vivan over the years: Chemould Prescott Road (Mumbai), PHOTOINK (Delhi) and Vadehra Art Gallery (Delhi).
