Rajendran guides us through a mental landscape shaped by widely disparate velocities of experience, of opportunity and privilege: the time zones of the horse, the tin cabin trunk, helicopter and the airplane emblematise a planet that has not yet been unified by the seamless efficiencies of transport and communication. The phantom of change may glide over the hapless meridians in a stealth aircraft, but it can also be held hostage by the refusal of a carriage to yield right of way of a dirt track. The sculptor dose not declaim a critique of mindless globality with its belief in all-pervasive and homogenising change, but rather, chooses to encode it’s into the play of contrary materials, the dialogue between incongruous entities.
