Gigi Scaria’s installation, Elevator From The Subcontinent, is essentially a small cabin made to look like an elevator. A viewer walks into a tiny room through sliding metal doors. On the room’s three remaining walls are continuously projected images: Panoramic photographs of homes, car parks, corridors and hallways. Each image is layered above the other and revealed as the composition scrolls up or down.
It is a simple but potent illusion because as the projected images move vertically, they create a convincing sensation of being inside an elevator cabin, moving through these layered spaces. The journey begins in an underground car park, rises through the insides of homes and hallways to the rooftops of a dense urban colony, and finally descends to the subterranean car park again.
