"Shall We?"
Furthering Patel’s interest in “play” as a means to examine contemporary experience and situations, in “Shall We?” Patel utilises the artifice inherent in both the setting and the performances to subtly question contemporary social conventions. Meccas for ready-made “better living”, the lifestyle store is an anywhere non-place characterised by the international language of mass produced design. With “Shall We?” Patel invites us to question our role in the consumption of this global economy of “lifestyle”.

Very beautiful product!!! When the spectator has emotions and there are goose pimples on a back-means the artist knowingly worked....
thanks for this intimate, caustic, precious video. I was mesmerized by it, i felt like a spy, a momentous passer by. Intense.
