Abstract
The paper discusses how Indian artists from the 1990s onwards have used various mediums to create new installations and assemblages, incorporating moving images through screens and projections. It focuses on the works of artists such as Vivan Sundaram, Nalini Malani, Navjot Altaf, and Sheba Chhachhi, and how they have used assemblage techniques to reflect social, political, and cultural dynamics. The paper, moreover, explores the integration of video as a medium of moving images within the broader context of new media art trends during this period and how it relates to the concept of assemblage art and the philosophical dimensions of assemblage theory. The main argument is to establish a dialogue with the intellectual approach of assemblage theory as presented by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and further developed by other theorists discussed in the paper.
