After emerging from the muddy sea in part I of the durational performance Drawing a Line through Landscape in Athens, Nikhil Chopra takes on part 2 of the performance. From May 13 to June 8, 2017 he makes his way through Europe, traveling from Athens to Kassel. Pitching his tent, his mobile room, in city squares, abandoned villages, and the wilderness, he stops at various locations to make drawings on the walls of his tent. At each stopping point he also presents an original song that is sung to a prerecorded tune. At each location new collaborations with local artists unfold.

Nikhil finishes his journey in Kassel on the platform of the old Hauptbahnhof (central rail station) with a series of large drawings that are sewn together and hung to create one continuous panoramic drawing.

The project is commissioned by documenta 14 and supported by Piramal Art Foundation, Payal, and Anurag Khanna, Galleria Continua and Chatterjee & Lal
