Satadru Sovan Banduri

 
Performance concept note : Each performance art is a poem for me.
"A dream, which was not all a dream,The bright ray was quenched, and the stars.
Did saunter darkling in the undying space,Rayless, and pathless, and the icy-earth
Swung unsighted and begrime in the moonless air;planetoid came and went—and came, and brought no celestial night ,
And human forgot their passions in the pride of this their grimness; and all hearts
They did live by as spectators and the thrones,Human were gathered round their blazing homes
To look once more into each other's face;Happy were those who dwelt within the eye
Of the volcanos, and their mountain-torch,A fearful hope was all the world comprised.
Mysterious bubbling oozing mass,Imploding and exploding,
Mystical being, hurling and whirling,In the outer space and the upper spheres.
quench with a crash—and all was black, the brows of men by the despairing light."

Performance Statement:
Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Satadru Sovan Banduri, a multi-disciplinary artist. In the past, I have received the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship at the University of California, and currently reside in New Delhi,
India. I am developing the idea of enquiry and merger with the concepts of desire, fantasy, body, mind, global and social justice continuing action and amalgamation of South-Asian gender-dogma and sensuality. The injustice and psycho-geography ,sciophobia, social violence ,sociology ,sociology politics within use won the body as a social taboo, as well as a tool of social mockery. I love to play a sarcastic role in face of today’s “Globalized” society, which might also be known as a “Technological Jungle”.
The work integrates various means of communication and artistic production using physical environments, New-media technologies, and interactive narratives that prompt public engagement, dialogue, Video ,sound animation verse composition and reflection. Based on notions of geography, identity, gender roles, image appropriation, and the politics of body migration, I explore issues that affect diverse urban communities.I has attempted to showcase a segment of our society that refuses to be generalised. Consumerism consumes people’s individuality and turns them into larger than life entities.This visual culture would confound and even overwhelm someone who is not a part of the urban milieu or has just recently come to be a part of it. But closer observation and certain amount of empathy from the viewer would reward my with interesting and humorous insights into human psyche.In our India's history and culture is dynamic, spanning back to the beginning of human civilization bring many culture and religion and unexpectedly it left us a glorious legacy that which I carry in my behaviour art (Performance art )with my body movement. "It is a state of consciousness, a way to move towards the future I think the performance is an entelechy but at the same time it delivers knowledge in a multifocal way. I always think of its ancestry, I mean the future will take it as an old practice."
