A Pink Scaffold : The Collapse
Painted scaffolds, dimensions variable, 2020-present
Kutch, India
Somewhere in the vastness of the Rann of Kutch stands the second iteration of the ‘Pink Scaffold’. This version was reinstalled in a more open and infinite location than the first, with much less foot traffic allowing the work and landscape to be more in tune with each other; the landscape, the work and the lone viewer. The plan was to deinstall by end March 2020 when the land softens and the work can start to sink and erode. But then the pandemic struck. And The Pink Scaffold still stands, in solitude and solidarity. Watching, waiting, hoping, and now slowly collapsing.
