Siddhartha Mukherjee and Jitish Kallat

Of the concept, Kallat shares, “The Darwinian sketch points to the core of the ruminative process — of discovery, observation and creativity — where ideas produce images and images in turn procreate ideas. This drawing is presented as the inaugural ‘prompt’ to think about the very process of drawing, as well as placing the question of ‘evolution’ [in its broadest interpretation] at the very centre of this project’s inquiry. The current pandemic has pushed us, the most dominant species on the planet, onto an exponential evolutionary change-curve as an invisible microscopic entity continues to infect our bodies and alter our life-patterns.”
