The one and only...

This is the original kala ghoda. It is now located in the VJBUZ. Why is this horse important to this project at all?, one may ask. I think it is. Because it represents all that we have constructed as valuable in the Kalaghoda precint. Our stately British heritage, our subversive name for it, and the ablity for a name to represent much more than just initial image. Possibly for that same reason it is absolutely irrelavant for this statue to appear here. I think that cities are connected across geography by imagination. Different people use different spaces in different ways but threads of random violences/displacements stretch across space, connecting them through underground (for lack of a better word) imaginations. Whether or not the statue has place in the parking lot that dominates the area is irrelevant, my question is, has the space freed itself from all that this statue represents?
