My film Choir Of Selves showcases my oscillating relationship with different “homes” in my life, namely the UK, UAE, and India. I use video and audio recordings I capture regularly, along with archival films and images, to forge feelings of longing and contemplation.
This film will be shown at the Loughborough University Degree Show 2024 (14th – 16th June), where it will be projected onto crumbled paper that is suspended from a length of rope. The free suspension of thin paper creates constant movement, this along with the crumbled texture lends an ephemerality to the film to further amplify the stream of consciousness aesthetic. The material reflects the nature of the films – fleeting and teasing like memories. Lastly, the rope and pegs used for hanging bring a sense of domesticity to the work. Viewers can be seated; however, the back-projection will allow the audience to walk up closer to the screen, this will also cause the screen to move in response.
The film was also shown at the Fringe Arts Bath Festival 2024 (25th May – 8th June) on a screen.
