The Weird Fictions project( 2016) is a series of interactive stories, installations and poetry performances that were playfully combined to transform the Cubbon Park Metro Station, Bangalore into a figment of the imagination, challenging perceptions of reality. Curated on the theme of “going beyond the surface of the ‘known’, this was an experiment on how to develop an urban legend or a conspiracy theory by operating upon people’s inherent fears and fascination with the unknown.
Put together by Pooja Sagar and Jeena Mary Chacko, and the student artists of Srishti Institute of Art Design and Technology, the concept is derived from the genre of ‘Weird Fiction’ that subverts the natural laws, dissolving the border between the real and the unreal.
