This book presents a simultaneity of histories. On one hand, we have a group of pictures culled from the immense stockpile created by artists in India over the past century; images that have served multiple uses and played contradictory roles, images whose semiotics are intertwined with the social and political histories of the Indian state. Complementary to this, we have a collection of packaging for a particular product and can discern the desires that have been projected onto that product. This is a book on firework boxes and its art. This book contains 14 meters of it, an end-to-end display of kitsch magic.
