Hairy (Kovalam – Kerala) is part of Baptist Coelho’s ongoing multimedia series, Kovalam – Kerala, which reflects on the artist’s emotional journey through an intimate narrative of a past relationship. The series resonates with the ideas of Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962), a French philosopher and phenomenologist, particularly his book ‘The Poetics of Space’ (1958), which explores how imagination, memory, and the intimacy of space create emotional resonance.
