Transitions, a series of drawings based on the floors at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, are drawings of when one floor becomes another are presented on walls. Although heavily patterned and geometric, with a lot of artist concentration in their production, it is the voids between floor tiles and floor boards that become denser than the pattern and the constructed repetitions. As we lose the sense of what we knew, Shroff makes us look at the thing we walk on everyday in a different way. We are moved out of the gallery and into an ‘other’ world which is topsy-turvy, delicate and all ours. We are elevated off said floor, floating and it is not until our feet impact the floor again that the narration starts once more. It is the floor at the moment it lacks any human contact.
