The Garden Of Time

The project explores the theme of the Garden of Time (a short story by J.G Ballard, Met Gala 2024 theme) as a satirical tool to reimagine the Met Gala as a garden, to unravel its paradoxes, especially the crippling contemporary realities the Gala tries to distract the world from. This is done by creating a space of infiltration at locations within the MET where the various Gala events take place and reimagine them into spaces of protest, showcasing the hidden realities, as a counter spectacle. With a conceptual play on flowers as the genocidal donors of the MET, on the plucking of which, truths of each protest taking place simultaneously alongside the Met Gala are given a space within the MET as a counter spectacle. This allows a loud reading of the trajectories of these protests with the institution of MET.
