The Arrival Of Vasco da Gama (2014) is a photographic recreation that deconstructs an 1898 orientalist painting by Portuguese painter José Veloso Salgado, “Vasco da Gama perante o Samorim”. Pushpamala N.’s photographic tableau recreates Salgado’s painting with a significant twist in the tale and playfully deconstructs the colonialist mindset of the original image.
