In her artistic work, Shilpa Gupta (*1976, Mumbai) explores borders, language, surveillance, and censorship, revealing the invisible systems that shape identity and freedom. Engaging with the politics of nationhood, her work investigates power structures, social stratification, and shared histories. Her practice spans both local and global contexts, addressing the tension between personal agency and collective experience. She works across a wide range of media, including photographic images, interactive sound pieces, motorized mechanisms, found objects, computer-assisted installations, and public performances. Shilpa Gupta is internationally recognized as one of the most important voices in contemporary media art.

Shilpa Gupta (*1976, Mumbai) lives and works in Mumbai, where she studied sculpture at the J.J. School of Fine Arts from 1992 to 1997. Her work is exhibited internationally, including Tate Modern and Serpentine Gallery, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Mori Museum, Tokyo; and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk. In 2025, she is the recipient of the Possehl-Prize for International Art.
