First Word Work 2021

Printed artists' book
1/8 demy size, 154 pages, 2022

“FWW 2021” is an artist’s book with a unique overall structure. It explores the collective possibility among the 150 individual text-based works.


The book is like a live war. A page you are seeing is continuously in a war with its surroundings. War is happening between the pages, between the ideas, between the words! It also kind of illustrates the presence of a clash between the three...the artist, the work and the viewer. The book has this inbuilt tension, which continuously grows to redefine itself with each turn of a page.


As one goes through these, a kind of narrative builds up touching on art history, education, market, contemporary politics, the irony of it, philosophical take, absurdity in defining, limits of language, psychological traits, social expectations and many more. Using irony, humour, and logic, the book puts forth several strong points on our life and the way we choose to live.
