Gazing the Godot

Spectacle.

Visible,
Yet inaccessible.

Props,

Present,
Yet futile.

Gesture.

Made,
Yet not.

Script.

Told,
Yet not written.

Waiting,

An unending ephemerality.

The photographs are clicked during the Lok Sabha election phase in India, April-May 2019. The photographs are clicked at two locations: Karampura Industrial Area, Delhi and Begusarai, Bihar. People in the photographs are either looking at or hearing a political speech or waiting for a political rally to arrive. The poem and the photos are observing eyes of the people, which have been waiting for long, and the wait never seems to end.
