THE MISTAKE

mistake 

The Mistake is an adaptation of Joseph Beuys' MANIFEST, which he published
as postcard in 1985: "Der Fehler fängt schon an, wenn einer sich anschickt
Keilrahmen und Leinwand zu kaufen."

THE FACELESS PROJECT (2002–2008) interrogates the culture of surveillance by redeploying authentic CCTV images recorded in London, the most heavily surveilled city on Earth. These images are heavily inscribed by laws relating to privacy and freedom of information, and are in effect 'legal readymades'.

LILLE: IST @ Lille3000

For the Lille 3000 festival, which has as its focus the Indian subcontinent, Mukul will create five idiosyncratic clocks around the city (in the metro and Lille-Flandres railway station, in the entrances to two stores, and along a pedestrianised street).
