Subodh Gupta is one of India’s most famous artists. He has been able to reach the global masses with his massive installations and sculptures out of everyday objects, mostly icons of Indian everyday life such as steel tiffin boxes used by millions to carry their lunch, thali pans, bicycles, milk pails, and chimtas, (metal tongs used to turn chappatis). As Gupta describes his work “All these things were part of the way I grew up. They are used in the rituals and ceremonies that were part of my childhood. Indians either remember them from their youth, or they want to remember them… and: ‘I am the idol thief. I steal from the drama of Hindu life. And from the kitchen – these pots, they are like stolen gods, smuggled out of the country. Hindu kitchens are as important as prayer rooms” Not only does Gupta address waste, industrialization, nuclear energy, tradition and memory, he also wants to connect us with the grim migratory issues that plague not only India but the world.

I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
