In Infinite Nectar (2019), Hera Büyüktaşçıyan (b. 1984, Istanbul, Turkey) recites a poetic text over images of various Sikh heritage buildings that were abandoned during the 1947 Partition of Indian and Pakistani Punjab. The artist focuses on the textures, architectural juxtapositions, and cracks within these spaces, overlaying them with animated mosaic-like stones, and caressing them with a fragmented marble hand. The work reflects on the mercurial layers of history, conflict, power dynamics, and urban transformations embedded in these sites, as well as the idea of a city as a body, subject to cycles of trauma and regeneration. Infinite Nectar is presented as part of the 2021 Triennial, “Soft Water Hard Stone,” on view at the New Museum from October 28, 2021–January 23, 2022.
