The new works by the artistic duo Thukral & Tagra explore the idea of “play” from a cultural, strategic, and psychological perspectives, with the title “Walk of life.” Thukral & Tagra continue to examine the relationship between art and play. Their recent show at Dr Bhau Daji Lad called “Games People Play” established the basis for this new versions of the project. The Walk of Life game is built upon the ancient Indian game called Ganjifa, Originally played with a set of 120 cards, the artists have turned it into a board game that depicts Dushavatar, the ten earthly incarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu. The avatars can also be considered as the evolution of mankind: from fish, to reptile, to mammal, to human, to deity.
