Artist Recreates Demolished Delhi Family Home in Threadwork at Venice Biennale

Artist Sumakshi Singh's installation 'Permanent Address' at the Venice Biennale's India Pavilion recreates her demolished family home in Delhi using delicate threadwork and steel wires. The nearly life-size artwork reflects the post-independence house built by her maternal grandparents, refugees from Pakistan, and evokes themes of memory, loss, and transience. The house, constructed from 1951 with unique details, was demolished about eight months ago, inspiring Singh to preserve its essence through art.
