„The body of works shown in the series, I Marvel at Your Forgetfulness” hints at a playful exchange between the two selves that reside in each of us – the performer and the silent observer. Each vying for the other’s attention, they share a relationship that seems comparable with that of lovers. Drawing joy even from each other’s forgetfulness in love, devoted to each other and yet deriving much pleasure by teasing the other – the title is suggestive of a very intimate yet complex relationship we share with ourselves.
Spaces that occupy our breath, memory, dream; form our constant companions but are rarely given the nourishment of our attention. The works in this show are a gentle push towards making a journey into these lapsed spaces that also contribute towards the entirety of all that one is. A journey that must necessarily be made in the companionship of the person that one supposes himself to be.“ (Sakshi Gupta)

Die Serie „I Marvel At Your Forgetfulness“ spricht auf spielerische Weise den Austausch zwischen den zwei Persönlichkeiten, die in jedem von uns stecken an. – die des Performers und die des stillen Beobachters. In diesem speziellen Verhältnis kämpft, ähnlich wie in einer Liebesbeziehung, die eine Seite um die Aufmerksamkeit der anderen.
