The fifth Wall : Navina Sundaram
An insider's outside view or
an outsider's inside view

 
  • Alienation, estrangement, defamiliarization, rootless and free, rooted and entangled, naivety/diversity, dual perspective, infinite boundaries blurred. All role-playing. Creating identities? Perhaps I should get myself a completely new identity, a reconstruction, freely invented from imaginary memories of here and there and put together with gentle ironies.

    Navina Sundaram, 1988
