“The Tent is his first gallery exhibition and provided an opportunity for him to explore the two-screen format. Steady, full colour footage adjoins hand-held black and white; creating a contrast between repose and agitation and between prosaic moments and media conscious events. Clever interplay occurs… evoking both tenacity and potential violence. The Tent is emotionally rich. Their stories are engaging and Arunasalam’s imagery is arresting. In these works and in The Tent as a whole Arunasalam invites us along on his journey to understand Sri Lanka”. — Amelia Crouch, Corridor8, 3 March 2019
