CMV Phase II

NECROPOLIS

Two men meet on the street. They have to make a deal. Or rather they want to make a deal. One has something to sell and the other needs something to buy. The Dealer is unsure what to peddle or whether he wants to peddle anything in the first place. The Client knows what he has to buy but does not know exactly how to. A cat and mouse game begins between these nameless, faceless, shapeshifters who have to make a transaction which they are not sure why they would make.

NECROPOLIS, a photo-performance by Parnab Mukherjee is a riveting performance. It provokes, angers, saddens and mesmerises. It is one of the ‘must see’s of Chobi Mela V.
