Since 2013 Shubigi Rao has been working on Pulp: A Short Biography of the Banished Book, a decade long film, book and visual art project. This involves visiting public and private collections, libraries and archives globally that served as flashpoints in history, collecting fragments, ephemera, anecdotes, buried secrets and piecing together (through the film, book and artworks) a composite chronology of the conjoined literary and violent trajectories of our species.
Following the release of the first volume in 2016, the second volume from this project was launched at The Wood for
the Trees — an exhibition held at Objectifs in August 2018 that showcased the documentation and material from the ongoing Pulp project.
