The performance attempts to reach out to those who the artist’s own and reconstruct the bridge of dialog by acknowledging changes that occur over time. Monali’s performance attempts to give “shape to memory and evoke the past through enactments.” Using objects as props, Monali refers to ritualistic cycles of destruction and renewal. The past is invoked as a marker of time; in this the recording and replaying of time-frames allows her to juxtapose real time with mediated time. She uses the notion of constant transformation to challenge the idea of repetition.
