Illuminating CityPlace is led-based light installation “MEIYW (My East Is Your West)” by Mumbai-based artist Shilpa Gupta. Known for using technologies and typefaces in her work, the installation features a sequence of letters, WMYEIAOSUTR, which light up successively. The pulsating light rearranges the letters to reveal the true meaning of the sentence, “My East Is Your West”, encouraging viewers to reflect upon social, political, and geographical boundaries and identities.
