About

Aadhyaa Bhatt is a multidisciplinary maker, who works with repurposed and found objects. 

She looks into fragments of time engaged as surfaces of ambient transformation. Her project seeks to apply her research on textile thinking to various mediums, exploring materials as conduits for storytelling and cultural commentary. She draws inspiration from preserved artefacts, whose surfaces bear the visible traces of time. Through her research, she intends to deepen her understanding and recontextualize archives by placing objects in dialogue with one another. These gestures and interactions contribute to the creation of her own archive, reimagining the past within the present.

“Every object or material in the archive has lived or served a purpose, which in some cases are quite visible on their surfaces. Some are borrowed, some are gifted, others are repurposed. Through these objects and agents of change, I hope to re-search potential meanings of what I perceive as an archive.”

 

KEYWORDS: Archive, documentation, performance, agents of change, elemental exposure, re-search
