![]() ![]() Spanning stages of billowing tide, wave crest, breaker tide and ebbing wave, the programme visits a swelling Indian Ocean, a dense Dead Sea, a migratory Mediterranean, and ultimately submerges one into a subconscious geography. A presentation themed on wave patterns, this showcase is divided into four programmes, each embodying a tidal trait. Salti's "curatorial conceit" impersonates the conceptual resonances of waves, heralding images, allegorizing in cinematic current, a geopolitics of shorelines, thresholds and stranded conditions. Witnessing the city of Mumbai absorbed by a spectrum of tides, this video opens Toronto-based South Asian Visual Art Centre's (SAVAC) MONITOR 14: Adrift with the Summer Tides, an online screening of experimental works curated by Rasha Salti. In recent works such as Meera Devidayal's Water Has Memory, such rise and tumble of misty foam intimates a quotidien godly performance, trudging a shore of the Indian Ocean. A stormy tide was arguably first captured on camera by the Lumiere Brothers in Baignade En Mer (1895), where two children and a woman jump into torrential waters. ![]()
