This Film is about conflicting and shifting landscapes.
They emerge out of my journeys which I collect through oral recitation, objects and photographs.

The paradox lies in the fact that the actual physical space is closeted, unconnected to the world it inhabits. My work is about these "closet" spaces that are static for the time they exist, but have the ability to be fluid and change hands within a span of 24 hours, 24 minutes or 24 seconds. it is about friction and in the same time it is fluid, contradiction of thoughts or situation is the content of the "Static motion".

These fictional landscapes and narratives are constructed in different mediums: here the diorama lends itself to being theatrical - motionless, yet mobile.

This body of work is about conflicting and shifting landscapes. They emerge out of my journeys, which I collect through oral recitation, objects and photographs. One of the fragments of this interior space is a call-centre. While a call centre is wired to connect to the universe, the paradox lies in the fact that the actual physical space is closeted, unconnected to the world it inhabits. My work is about these "closet" spaces that are static for the time they exist, but have the ability to be fluid and change hands within a span of 24 hours.

These fictional landscapes and narratives are constructed in different mediums: here the diorama and the film lends itself to being theatrical - motionless, yet mobile.The use of documentation and diorama is very mega metro centric. The concept of temporariness is focused.
