Amar Kanwar's Many Faces of Madness

My first venture into Kanwar's work. Have heard great things about him from friends. But unfortunately, didn't like Many Faces of Madness. The topic is nothing extra-ordinary, although very very relevant for the contemporary world: ecological destruction, corporate hegemony, popular resistance. But my problem was that, it's too verbose. The voice-over was overwhelming,the central metaphor, ie, that of madness, was explored only in a scant kind of a way and seemed too imposed-from-above. Let's see what his other works have in store!
