Shubigi Rao

Shubigi Rao interrogates how we know what we do and how we remember what we do. Her multifaceted installations are a cybernetic foray across archaeology, neuroscience, anthropology and etymology. Sometimes absurd such as building immortal jellyfish, and at other times serious, such as an attempt to produce an encyclopaedia, her artworks are visual and physical representations that point at the complex and inherited systems that govern and define our lives. Since 2014 she has been developing the project Pulp: A Short Biography of the Banished Book, a decade-long film, book and visual art project about the history of book destruction.
