Jitish Kallat "…is among the most attentive chroniclers of the postcolonial city seized by the crisis of globalization: he studies its pathologies of violence; he dwells on the fortuitous groups, the crowds of rioters or the assembly of people waiting for a train, that have replaced the cohesive community; he examines the life of labour, commemorates the cyclerickshaw puller and the load-bearing porter. And he records these phenomena, not as impersonal socialscientific memoranda, but through the tender, terrifying immediacy of the painted surface"
