Excerpt from Kamala Kapoor, Vivan Sundaram: Shelter 1994-99, publisher unknown, 1999:
'This is a form of invitation for the viewer to lie on this 'cold' and 'soft' bed. To sleep on a glass coffin of infantile memories; to sleep under a mattress with dangling objects of desire. A squeeze of objects, suffocation, suppression, implicit (explicit) sexuality. […] Bunk-bed = bunker, protection, rest.' - Vivan Sundaram in written exchange with Kamala Kapoor
