Fever

Rai works across various media such as images, text, and installations. In her project Fever, she presents parts from three ongoing bodies of work—Fever, Search Party, and Ngan & Nilnil—which underscore her long-standing inquiry into movement, inheritance, belonging, and becoming. The works explore ways of how we notice, absorb, and relate to the world around us and how its vastness influences the intimate. The paintings and photographs in the series Fever focus on a state of transformation and a disruption of the body’s rhythm through familial threads. Search Party brings together an array of elements that are layered with traces—some visible, others concealed—through a video installation and found objects. In Ngan & Nilnil, which includes drawings and paintings, Rai renders sites of simultaneous presence and absence, where memory becomes a connecting node.
