Raqs with Pradip Saha, translate documentary video and audio log sheets, notes, excerpts from legal document, and stickers and signs to create a matrix of meaning around questions of space, access, barriers and the law in cites today

Documentary images of accidents, smog, crowds, police check posts, evictions, phone booths, bus stations, cyclists and communication infrastructure are positioned in counterpoint to legal excerpts and administrative notes. These in turn are juxtaposed with logs of sounds recordings, as well as with renditions of the rhetoric of signs, warnings, admonitions and slogans that either appear or are inscribed on urban surfaces. Taken together, this broadsheet is a folio made out of layers of documents and different, sometimes conflicting registers of indexicality. The materials and documents sit uneasily together, with fragments of the legal texts positioned in close proximity to images of an ‘un-governable’ city.
