What can video-art on a pharmaceutical company and drugs be about?

Red Blister (2014), a video-box in Remedies by audio-visual artist Surabhi Saraf
At Remedies, Surabhi Saraf’s new solo exhibition in the city, you hover around a box, the size of a modest refrigerator, on which a video strip goes around. Blister packs get filled with yellow pills in this video-box called Yellow Blister; there is another called Red Blister. Just as you think “cute”, a gloved hand emerges out of nowhere in the videos, and fixes gaps in the rows of tablets. It’s a matter of just seconds before empty spots become red and yellow dots.
