Press Release

Experimenter is thrilled to present, in collaboration with St+art India, CAMP’s monumental seven channel installation Bombay Tilts Down for the first time in its home city of Mumbai, during Mumbai Gallery Weekend.

A landscape movie in facets, ‘Bombay Tilts Down’ was filmed from a single-point location by a CCTV camera atop a 35-floor building in South-Central Mumbai during the pandemic. Six camera moves that begin in unstable skies and at sea, and descend “into the ordinary” via vertical landscapes filled with unfinished city landmarks, persistent settlements, details without end. A new pact between people, camera and the city.

Its music, haunted by sirens and poets, is by Tushar Adhav (Bamboy) who grew up in Lalbaug, Parel.

‘Bombay Tilts Down’ was commissioned by The Nam June Paik Art Center and the 2022 Kochi-Muziris Biennale.

About the Gallery
Experimenter was co-founded by Prateek & Priyanka Raja in 2009. With a multidisciplinary approach, the gallery is an incubator for an ambitious and challenging contemporary practice. The program represents some of the most critical contemporary artists worldwide. Considered to be a ‘pace-setter’ for its region, the program extends from exhibition-making, to knowledge creation, through regular talks, performances, workshops and most importantly, through it’s much acclaimed, annual curatorial intensive, Experimenter Curators’ Hub. In 2016, its artist-book publishing wing, Experimenter Books was launched. Experimenter’s program is rooted in dialogue and dissent. In 2018, the Experimenter Learning Program (ELP) was launched. ELP enables discussion, debate and learning in fields of contemporary and performing arts, curatorship, film, writing, language and social culture. In 2019, Experimenter Outpost an iterative exhibitions program outside the physical gallery where an extension of the program temporarily inhabits disused, characterful spaces was launched. In 2020, Experimenter Labs, an inclusive, experimental, online platform in addition to the onsite gallery programming was launched. Its third space Experimenter – Colaba, established in 2022, underscores the commitment of its discursive programming to Mumbai, a city that in turn represents the diverse pluralities of the region.
