"A Day in the Life" is a series of "constructed" photography taken in the now closed Terminal 2 at Pearson Airport. These images are surreal explorations of the desire for personal transformation, contrasted with the realities of mass tourism, immigration and border controls. This project also explores the workings of the airport microcosm, and the many invisible people within this world who keep things moving.
Another part of the exhibition is the mixed media video installation "Pink is the Navy Blue of India" (2003-07) and the related series of digital photographs. This project is inspired by a quote from fashion guru, Diane Vreeland (Vogue magazine). Bahl has been observing the current public fascination with 'Indian/ Bollywood Chic' and has developed a group of works that are humorous and satirical critiques of the phenomena.
Shelly Bahl is a visual and media artist based in Toronto and New York City. Her interdisciplinary works play with issues of cultural dislocation, and the cultural schizophrenia that can occur in the translation/transmutation of time and space. Bahl is particularly interested in the contemporary transmission of visual culture, and the experiences of individuals who lead trans-cultural lives. |
