KARACHI: Nowadays there is no dearth of people who create or are interested in different types of art, keeping this in mind we visited a unique art called Wall of Thoughts at Karachi Biennale to check out the features that have been an amazing experience that we have uncovered for our visitors.
Bilal Jabbar, the creator of the unique idea told MM News that he has named this work “Wall of Thoughts”, which consists of kitchen bowls, in which he has used more than 1000 bowls with electric motors and sensors, from where he tried to get a new experience for the viewers.
Bilal Jabbar said that he thinks that humans cannot see what is going on in their minds, but he has tried to give it a picture, as we have never seen what we are thinking. So the way these bowls move, sometimes they attract you and sometimes you seem to get lost in them. Sub-bowls have a different view of the movement.
He said that when he was in thesis year, there was an outbreak of corona epidemic in Pakistan, from there he started examining things around him and started seeing how these things can be seen from a new perspective.
He said that his installation is a part of Karachi Biennale 22, and he is the only person who has won in Karachi Biennale’s annual Arts of Art, due to which his efforts are here today. “My thesis show in 2021 was done. My work there at the Valley School of Arts and Architecture Gallery consisted of a variety of spoons.”
Bilal said he thinks that reading for the common man is like what he sees in his practice is an object that is in daily use in the house, that is being used by people other than him, but he picks it up and gives it a new function and put into a new identity, this little science applies in every area of the world, he added.
When a child is born, I think he is also a born artist, so you have that ability from childhood, but one has to find it, he maintained.
