Over the past 25 years, Mumbai-based artist Jitish Kallat has trained his acute eye for varying scales and forms to highlight the beauty of fluid geography, sacred geometry and the glowing interstices between the nation-state and the looming cosmos. Here, his artwork uses abstractly looped highway signage to connect not just towns but entire planets and galaxies. In its 12-metre span, the installation spills across diverse worlds, closing the gap between faraway cities, and harmonising the territorial limits of our living world and the other world. Over foundational concrete, the endless blue loops made of aluminium panels elevates this artwork into a complex, almost Dadaist plane.
