A Hundred Million Crucifixions
A Hundred million crucifixions is a sound and light sculpture
exhibition of one hundred million children in diverse fields of
labor. The crucifix is made of the product the child toils to
create. A pile of bricks for a construction worker, spoons, tumblers
and plates for a child in the hotel, large match sticks for a
child from Sivakasi. Big brooms for domestic workers, Spanners
for a garage toiler! Sugar cane for the sweet darlings of sorrow,
a cow for a bonded labour cowboy and so on.
The sound and light show will be a spectacle to behold. The travails
and tribulations of the working child will be recreated to stun,
jolt and educate the viewer.
A hundred voices of Children recorded during the History Expedition
will speak to the audiences. The 100 images of the crucified children
will be placed in an oval open ground. The audiences will be placed
centrally, surrounded by the speaking children. As the light comes
on to a particular child, the child will introduce itself about
its work and struggles, its dreams to create a sense of awe and
motivation to the adults and especially child spectators about
the conditions of working children. Large images of working will
be shown on big video screens. The sculpture can be made in different
mediums.
Hereunder is the cost, time frame, and its durability for the
realization.
