A series of photographs documents the most recent performance of a theatre play by the artist entitled The Alien. It is based on a script written in 1967 by Satyajit Ray, and tells the story of an extra terrestrial being, the alien, who crash lands into a lotus pond close to a small Bengali village. Each photograph presents a total view of the set, that is kept in black and white and mainly consists of vertical stripes, framed by large, printed, symmetrically arranged textiles, related to the ones in the main space of the gallery.
