This week, chances are, that you might spot a gigantic exhibit of an earthmover while on a trip to a mall in Lower Parel or at the Carter Road Promenade. Dubbed the Neo-Monster, this public project by Vibha Galhotra works around the changing environment, politics and social structure. It is a critique on the vulgarity of excess advertising and virally growing consumerism. u00a0“This work is a social sculpture by which I am trying to tell a story about the changing environment. In the contemporary world, we are full of absurdities that we negotiate. I am interested in addressing and analysing such negotiations, which we categorise as necessities. Unable to comprehend the loss of basic values we blindly adapt to an alienating environment,” she says.
