Artists' works from Kochi-Muziris Biennale dealing with books – as a form and structure, the narratives found in them, as well as the knowledge protected and propagated by them. Afrah Shafiq explores archival images of women reading, transforming them into a computer game; Shubigi Rao and Mukta Ahluwalia in the imagined world of a colonial officer and book smugglers; Chandan Gomes’ personal artist books; and Heri Dono’s mythic references, from flying angels to Trojan ships.
