In the Mirror of the Other is Tsering Motup’s observation of life as a resident artist that he shares through Ladakhi stories and lifestyle temporarily poised and juxtaposed in the state of Goa. The two diametrically opposite geographies and distinct cultures have the common thread of tourism - they both welcome the outsider, though only temporarily. They rely on the other. They are dependent on the other.
One is invited to enter the mirror through his work spread across an installation within a situated personal space, conversations around it, and social experiences such as a friendly exchange of stories and culture, over food.
Tsering Motup Siddho is a multidisciplinary artist based in Leh-Ladakh, India, who holds a post-graduate degree from Shiv Nadar University in Delhi. He expresses himself through different forms of mediums such as drawings, paintings, photographs, video and performances, to thereby talk about identity and other fundamental issues regarding the socio-cultural constitution of selfhood vis-à-vis questions of identity, memory, home and migration which spring from his own unique Ladakhi identity.
