Join the Dots, 2007
An attempt, using light trails to capture the energy and movements of children in a group, in different activities. Light trails, also depicting a different time frame of the child in comparison with an adult. Patterns of sounds are composed based on the patterns of light, to hold the video in time. The video is essentially a movement through the patterns of lights and sounds, installed at one of the locations of its shoot. This work is in progress.
To build an understanding with the children and know them better I conducted a workshop for a week. The kids come from a background which does not give them any exposure to art, belonging to the age group of 5- 10 years. The workshop was an attempt to initiate them towards drawing and narration through storytelling / illustration exercises.
