Film, Art & Design – Bharat Sarwaiya

This is a selection of written works dating from early 1997-2010. Most of the works were in conjunction with paintings/ drawings. A set of poems was also in a handmade journal, which was illustrated accordingly but it got lost during the years.

26 Nov 97 | God’s shoes

Iron tree rotating furiously, looking like an ‘unfocussed’ stirring noise,
just so as waiting for him to walk.

25 Nov 97 | Death

“You must know that you had escaped the fall of life
and that’s why the silence escapes you in return.
           So listen… don’t fall anymore.
“He stood motionless, facing my blank face, not understanding anything.

14 Jun 99 | Pages of jars and bottles

Pretty looking objects, unheard song lines, month of March,
Cages, electricity, pause.
Smash in your wicked thoughts.
How do you sleep through empty nights?
How do you dress every morning?
Can you remember anything?
Are you still naked?
Are you stiff?
Are you cracking?.. or soft?…or red?
…or polished like marble?
Are you safe like everybody?
Are you hiding something?
Can this ever happen again?
               This is neither chapter of inquisitions,
nor any game people play.
Thank you.
