cityinflux is an endeavour to document the in-between spaces that appear as an aberrant to the norm, but in fact get legitimised due to the inability of the surroundings to linearise lost but recognisable markers defining the city fabric.
Ranjit has felt that these areas contain glimpses of the unofficial city that perpetually runs unseen, alongside. The work also deals with directing the eye to access just parts of the visual narrative playing out a moment in its entirety. The event thus recorded epitomises a certain identity of the city as a whole which is momentarily revealed in that one gesture.
The apparent dead space that forms the backdrop of the images of the city is what interests me: cityinflux is a kind of storehouse of spatial entropy for a city in constant motion. Some of the work presented deals with a build up to a moment, a break in the image, a fracture or a sudden shift. These shifts, be it bodies reacting to their surroundings, or the surrounding itself changing, document the ambiguous settling time in between the events of the city.
