Gurugram kee Udaan (Flight of Gurugram)
The spectacular Eagle Owl found in the Northern Aravalli Range is perched at the entry point to Gurugram from Delhi, poised to take off.
Once disappeared Indian Eagle-Owl (Bubo Bengalensis ) rises again and rehabitated, choosing the green spaces recreated by consistent efforts of “I AM Gurgaon” and culturally active NGO sensitising civic communities and Public organisation towards Bio Diversity and greener environment.
To celebrate this hope of greener Gurugram this art installation by Gopal Namjoshi further harbors the coexistence and offers an art inspired , spirited entry to the millennium city.
Made of 1400 KG of metal junk periodically collected from the scrap yards across Gurugram.The items used range from metal chains, cogs, rods, wheels, nuts, bolts, sheets, to broken metal pieces; essentially metal scrap sold in bulk to scrap dealers from where it is shipped to melting units; items that the Kabadiwalas view as unusable except for the metal content that can be reclaimed.
Took 6 months to create this installation.
