The Question
Look at that Crocodile
In it's flashing light
Bleed for some time
Every color of it
is in it's own spot
If it is a tree
it should be like
it was removed from somewhere
and kept here
There is no talk of
time or timelessness
here
It is that we want
We want it's imaginations
Forms could change
but there shouldn't be a change in meaning
We want the product in it's totality
The question ...
Is this a possibility?
should arise
It should look as if
it is the truth that we see
Then the painting
you see
will not give room to any doubts
Note: Discourse on a painting?

நிஜம் கவிதையின் சாயல் இதில் இருக்கிறது. அங்கே தேடப்பட்டது நிஜமோ நிஜம். நாய் என்று எழுதினால் குரைக்க வேண்டும் என்பது போல. கலை தத்ரூபமாக வாழும் நிஜமாக வேண்டும் என்கிறார். இது எங்கே கவிதையாகிறது என்று நாம் விவாதிக்க வேண்டும்.

Look at that crocodile
in it's sparkling brightness
Immerse for a while
in it's each and every colour.
Are in their (own) places,
a tree
should look
as if it's uprooted and placed.
Here
There is no talk of time and timelessness.
Truth
that is what we need
Need its imaginations
shapes can change
No change in the content
complete full thing needed
A question should come
is it possible?
A question should arise and
it should appear
as if it is true.
Even if your seeing a painting there is no place for
the question.
Ethics of the function of a piece of work or a painting in this case. It seems like Aathmanaam stood opposite a painting in a gallery and wondered what could an image provoke? And without any inhibition he believes it is to create more questions. I stand by him on that (largely) ...a work needs to make you question or dream...
