The Impressions Project (A Sunday Afternoon)

There are notions of contemporary cities and there contemporary notions about rivers. How do these relationships unfold in cities today? Each city stands at a different point in its place in the history of progress and identity formation. The appropriation and re-enactment of Seurat’s ‘The Sunday Afternoon at La Grande Jatte’ enables us to examine the notions of leisure and mundane as they circulate between Kolkata and Hooghly river.

The complexity and dynamism in the river-city relationship get mirrored in Seurat’s spatial divisions and his use of multiple perspectives. Seurat’s attempts to break and then restructure spaces and perspective inform the way the work is enacted and composed. The congestion of the city and its close knit relationship with the river makes the re-enactment almost a point of initiation…slowly the city begins to take over.
