The geometries-mathematics thread seems contiguous in many of Charles Correa’s projects ranging from JKK’s stringent articulations of the 9 square grid or its sectional turn in Kanchenjunga around the central core. One cannot overstate Correa’s ability to reason these geometric possibilities in 3 dimensions. The installation articulates his subliminal abilities in geometry through current mathematical and computational possibilities. Within the gallery the geometry of a square on the floor is lofted to the circular roof of the space. The form further extends outwards as portals from the adjoining landscape along two axes accessing the installation.
