The White Rabbit | Uwe Jonas
The White Rabbit
One of the Bangalore's biggest problems is the individual traffic, not only making the city noisy, but creating pollution through emissions, dispersed dust etc. Walk around and you quickly get the feeling of being dirty. Everything that lies around seems old and worn out very soon. Trying to handle the ever-increasing traffic by building flyovers is not nipping the problem in the bud, but just worsens the air quality further.
Now the white rabbit comes into play: In its immense size of 12 feet by 6 feet, on first view this white rabbit resembles an elephant, or suggests a PR action by a nearby luxury mall.
This beautiful and pure state, a pleasant sight in the eyes of the car drivers passing by, will not last long though, because pretty soon the rabbit will be covered with dust and emissions, its fur will lose its shiny gloss and its colour will change from white to grey. The dirtier the rabbit becomes, the more it reveals its shape as a discarded, disposed or lost soft toy - always resembling something sad.
UWE JONAS was born in 1962 in Hamburg, studied political science and is a visual artist and curator in Berlin since 1993. He takes a conceptual, context-oriented approach with a focus on societal transformation phenomena, generally in public space. He runs a residency project in Berlin, Lichtenberg Studios (lichtenberg-studios.de), and till 2013 an independent gallery, Neues Problem (neuesproblem.de).
