Autosaurus Tripous is a life-size recreation of an auto-rickshaw with simulated bones, as if it were the restructured
remains of a prehistoric specie and displayed in a Natural History Museum. This omnipresent
catalyst of traffic jams is rendered as a victim, shattered in the crossfire of a sectarian riot; or the
abandoned carcass of a discarded, antiquated automobile in the fast-changing Indian streetscape.
