Consider the following scenarios :
Scenario 1: You are passing through a forest in a vehicle. You have fleating sense(s) of all the beings you are passing through. The glass box that packs you in is one of many units.
Scenario 2: You are an insect in a forest. There is a path cutting through the forest. Every once in a while, and sometimes more often, a loud, fast moving object beaming light at night and can be heard from a distance, passes through. Each instance of this has a distinct beginning and end in the sound field. It cuts out everything at its peak.
Scenario 3: You are an insect on/in a vehicle on the road and your kin are in the forest - sounding. You can hear their collective din but none of them can be heard distinctly. You make a call. But in the time that they hear you, you will be gone. Two -way communication is most likely not possible. Its a soundfield through which I am passing.
Frame of Reference is a sketch developed from these distinct states that seem to be entirely decoupled from one another even though there is a common space and time.

PS- This work was called 'Disturbing the State' during the exhibition at Akar Prakar, New Delhi (27 Aug - 27 Sep, 2023). Frame of Reference was the tentative title which is back as it seems appropritate.
