Drawing on multiple reference points including 1970’s countercultures, New Age practices and complexities of post-modern spirituality, Inner workout is an installation that offers a space for intuition, rituals and meditation. This installation examines metaphysical and cultural esoterica of the recent past, ‘New Age’ spirituality and recent renewed interest towards self-help and therapeutic culture. This installation uses strategies of appropriation, hybridity and nomadic meanings that are contingent and subject to the contemporary dilemma of spirituality.
