This month our cover is all about 'breaking conventions' - be it in the form of an Augmented Reality
cover or in what the artist, Nikhil Chopra, signifies through his performance, as he says, 'I am interested
in new conversations about material, their narrative, their function and the memories they trigger. For
the performance, I used a chocolate cake as material to make a drawing with and smeared the wall of
my studio to create a mountainscape reminiscent of the Himalayas and my childhood in Kashmir. I
am also interested in identities and what they signify. Which is why I transformed myself from a suited
gentleman to a lady in a cocktail dress licking her fingers as she applies cake on the wall.'
