Ripples in the Pond / Bharat Sikka

インド・ニューデリーを拠点に活動する写真家、バハラ・シッカ（Bharat Sikka）の作品集。父と息子の関係を記録した前作『The Sapper』に続き、Fw:Booksより発表した新作『Ripples in the Pond』は、西ベンガル州の小さな町、マカルダ（Makharda）を舞台にした視覚的な随筆です。

20以上の静かな池が点在する風景の中に位置するマカルダは、単なる地理的な場所としてではなく、時間的かつ社会文化的な要素が複雑に収束する場として浮かび上がります。作者は、この街が内包する記憶、近代性、そしてインフラの侵食による緩やかな暴力の間の絡み合いを、その実験的な制作手法で可視化を試みました。シッカは、「Ripples（波紋）」とタイトルが付けられた本作において、撮影した写真をスキャナーにかけ、読み取り中に物理的にプリントを動かすことで、画像に歪みや波紋を生じさせました。スキャナーの光を池の水面に見立て、記憶や風景が揺らぎ、変容していく様を視覚的に再現しています。

In Ripples in the Pond, the artist undertakes a nuanced exploration of Makharda, a peripheral township on the outskirts of Kolkata, West Bengal. Situated within a landscape marked by over twenty tranquil ponds, Makharda emerges not merely as a geographic locale but as a site of complex temporal and socio-cultural convergence. Through a process-based photographic inquiry, the artist renders visible the entanglements between memory, modernity, and the slow violence of infrastructural encroachment.

The project is grounded in a personal act of return, both physical and affective, evoking the fictional sensibilities of ‘Malgudi Days’ an Indian tv series from the 80’s, which serve here not simply as nostalgic reference, but as an aesthetic framework through which to understand the semi-rural imaginary. The ponds, recurrent throughout the body of work, function symbolically and formally as reflective agents, at once literal bodies of water and metaphoric surfaces that refract the tensions between past and present, fantasy and reality, the rural and the emergent urban.
