BRAIN ROT
THE LIFE YOU LIVE?
A Solo show by Viraj Khanna
Art is a reflection of society. The cultural context of our world seeps into everything we associate meaning with. Viraj Khanna explores the lives of his contemporaries around him, creating art that inspires a social commentary. Fundamentally satirical in nature, his art, be it textile or sculpture, is dramatic and absurdist. Through this exhibition he creates a series of exaggerated sculptural works that question the way we spend our time and observes the lifestyle of the current generation he is a part of. Vibrantly detailed, each fibre glass sculpture is a narrative on the daily digital routine that dominates our world. Ideas of the psychological impact of technology and especially the overconsumption of low value content are explored. This is extremely relevant today as “Brain Rot” has been termed the word of the year by Oxford for 2024. He wants viewers to connect with the figures depicted and also reflect on the question "The Life You Live?" in their own individual contexts.
