In his lecture titled “Contingent Communities,” Siddiqui reflects on his experimental practice and the people, places, materials, and ideas that by design become part of it. Siddiqui considers his trajectory through the lens of what Paul Virilio refers to as “traceability”. From material lifecycles to the French architect Claude Parent’s traveling installations from the 1970s, Siddiqui’s work identifies circulation as a common trace across a diverse body of work—and a convincing conceptual alibi for creative practice.
