Monica Narula, from Raqs Media Collective, will give a short  
conceptual-lecture in conjunction with the opening of their new  
commission.

The Surface of Each Day is a Different Planet is a newly commissioned  
film installation that combines historical photographs from  
collections in London and Delhi with video, animation, and a  
soundscape of overlapping voices. Stories leak, histories collide;  
bones, bodies, faces and handwriting blur; crowds gather and move en  
masse. Intentionally open-ended and anti-documentary, the work  
examines how collectivity and anonymity have been represented over  
time and how, in the present, the conditions of post-colonialism and  
globalisation contribute to an ongoing crisis of identity and  
entitlement.

A prelude film by the artists is available on the website
www.tate.org.uk/intermediaart/raqs.shtm

Curated by Kelli Dipple as part of Tate Media’s Intermedia Art  
commissioning programme.

Launching in conjunction with the exhibition, Art Now: Beating the  
Bounds and Late at Tate.
