In her performance videos, Kawita Vatanajyankur uses her body to interrogate and challenge the intersectionsof womanhood, labour, and consumerism. Assuming the repetitive and strenuous tasks of domestic objects
and mechanical tools, she hybridises human and machine and embodies the role of a cyborg. Drawing from a
globalized and digitally networked visual language of consumption and instant gratification, her alluring
videos bear semblance to bold and colourful commercial advertisements. Yet, her arduous works are difficult
to witness, forming a testament to human capability and female resilience.
