Tagar by Amba Sayal-Bennett


Working across drawing, projection and sculptural installation, Amba Sayal-Bennett’s recent work focuses on instruments of measurement. From astrolabes to Jantar Mantars, these curious, ancient, other-worldly calculating machines enabled the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye through an assemblage of measuring device, celestial and human bodies. An instrument is a system created by the body working in conjunction with a material structure or object. Whether using a plastic drawing stencil or three-dimensional computer modelling software, Amba explores how instruments or apparatus have agency- what they signal and silence, what worlds they perform.
