and Helmet Newton, Marc Chagal, Brian Eno, Alexandra McQueen ? They have all done installations or sculpture/art pieces for the Swarovski museum in Wattens near Innsbruck in Austria. It is now the second most visited place in all of Austria. And now I have been asked to do an intstallation there. It is not only an honour, but also promises to be a very humbling experience. The installation is based on a short film called “Paasage” (which used to be called 3 Graces) that I just completed, and which I wrote about when I went to film in Argentina. Swarovski funded that film.
I am doing this in collaboration with my good friend David Adjaye, who is one of the most innovative and celebrated young modern architects in the world. Pray for me, that through humility I may access a universal creativity that would allow me to do something worthy of being there.

meeting you is my life’s biggest wish

That’s wonderful Shekhar! Heartiest congratulations.
I had taken a dream vacation to the Tirolean alps a couple of years back. Back then this museum was a ‘tucked away’ wonder. We were quite delighted to discover it. It is certainly an honour that one of us shall take their creativity in there.
We look forward eagerly to seeing the final product. For those who haven’t visited the Tirolean alps a visit to the Sound of Music country has an added attraction now!
All the best!
Warm Regards
Adajaye is brilliant! His buildings and design philosphies are wonderful. Great mind to collaborate with.
What kind of installation will it be? Is it a client dictated theme or so you have free rein?
Please do fill us in on the design process as it happens.
I am terribly excited for you to do this.
How much you receive is how much you believe!
🙂
welcome back after your trip to Gujarat-Kutch
and wishing you all the best, may you tap again the unknown realm of creativity in this project and come up with a body of work which will actually surprise yourself so that you know your potential better is prayer of yours truly
By asking for prayer you have already received it.
Just remember it and then begin your work and leave the rest to the Greater You.
Congratulations.

Hi Shekhar, I picked up the teaser for Passage here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsT-npSTEOQ
and it surely creates an appetite (I mean I would watch any of your creations any time). But as an immediate instinctive reaction, it creates great deal of curiosity. Makes me expect a evocative story of sensitive human relationships and dynamics that play against the backdrop of another event. Lots of estrogen in there too. And offcourse the beautiful Julia Stiles.
Is the background music ARR ? Seems very unlike him if so.
We can now say with certainty that the global recession was caused by people driving white Escalades.
