Auto Ethnography Through Objects, 2022, 2023

These moving image works are part of a recurring project – Auto Ethnography Through Objects – which mark my body in the socio-political space it occupies through objects, at different points of my life.

Weightlifter documents a difficult, precarious, uncomfortable moment in time, made heavy by grief, breakdowns, depression and helplessness. It records the guilt and struggle of breathing as a world collapses around myself.
Fire-eater and Loser record more difficult feelings.  Rage, shame, self sabotage piled on over years quietly excavated and released through the process of making.

Technical Support: Ashwini Samant and Drashti Gala

Weightlifter was made as part of the Space 118 Award, 2022
