Fayez Ahmed Agariah works under the aegis of FYZ Art & Design, which is a small enterprise comprising of multitalented artistic individuals from various disciplines other than art. The enterprise functions as an incubator for harnessing the natural potential of its members. It is, he states, “a flexible and nurturing environment to create and experiment with out-of-the-box ideas.”

Fayez Ahmed Agariah writes of his performance for KB17: “A spontaneous view in my garden of delights, where I live under a tree. In a suitcase full of various paraphernalia: fabrics, threads, needles, ropes, wires and other textural elements. After I rise, I start taking out the objects from the suitcase and start arranging them around me as far as my reach goes, without stepping out of the suitcase, I build and I stitch myself to the structure, getting tangled and eventually immoveable. So I stop. And then the whole process goes into reverse. Until I lock myself up again.”
