面纱1957

　　1922年，霍华德卡特发现图坦卡门之墓，近百年后，这位法老王墓中的许多无价珍宝隐没在埃及各地的博物馆地下室或档案馆里。如今全部5398件藏品首度重聚于新的大埃及博物馆，其中许多从未展出过，这些藏品揭露了这位人称“少年法老”短暂精采的一生，并有助专家了解图坦卡门对古代世界的重大影响。

　　“For two years starting in 2020, this work has been forming along the edges of disquiet and premonition, in fragments and intensities, through wandering and not-staying. It has tried to find language for and ways across the bizarre upheavals of social and political values with the rise of fascism in India and a global pandemic. It has insisted on being amongst the things that keep from falling apart. Filmed in Delhi, these incomplete fictions are of the people, places, and protests that keep the language of hatred at bay and absorb the city’s grief and euphoria. In them are the continuous echoes of a violent and tenuous present.
　　The false closures and tenuous associations in this video/essay compose a timeline of the city at an angle through the time of this work. There is a shadowy sense of a protagonist who un-dreams it all; a stranger, who it turns out, is no stranger at all.” Priya Sen
