Reena Saini Kallat works across drawing, photography, sculpture, and video to explore ideas held in states of tension—mobility and obstruction, memory and erasure, hybridity and national narratives. Shaped in part by her family’s experience of the Partition, her practice engages with political and social borders and the ways they divide land, people, and ecosystems. Through research into histories of migration, the contestation of shared natural resources, and archives of the disappeared, Kallat reflects on the violence embedded in state structures and the fragility of the legal documents meant to sustain them. Her recurring use of hybrid forms and electrical wires twisted into barbed motifs evokes the paradox between the free flow of information and the restrictions placed on bodies, suggesting that contact inevitably leads to exchange and entanglement. Memory, both personal and collective, is central to her inquiry. Using the bureaucratic symbol of the rubber stamp, she works with the names of people, monuments, and entities that have vanished into anonymity, reinscribing them into public consciousness through the very tools of institutional authority. Her attention to foundational constitutional texts reveals the universal aspirations embedded within them—freedom, equality, and belonging—while exposing their simultaneous production of exclusion and blind spots. Throughout her oeuvre, Kallat highlights the limits of perception at both individual and societal levels, proposing an expanded field of vision that acknowledges what lies at the margins.
