  • Switch Over

    A winter in motion. After Monday comes Friday. Switch over. People move around, but I stay still. Switch over. A distant smile. After Wednesday comes Sunday. Switch over. Everything is close by. Why don’t you look up? Switch off.

  • Instant Karma

    Thermal imaging animation and Tibetan singing bowls create circles of enlightenment as a sensory meditation experience. The fusion of animated thermal visuals and sonic meditation bells aim for mind-body integration, where the viewer experiences a transformative state. The animation utilizes pulsating thermal heat maps of bowls with varying temperatures of water, shifting colours to visualize the physical sound waves of bells. These circles represent the mandala as a sensory experience toward a central point of enlightenment.

  • A Hundred Years From Now

    Combining frame by frame animation, deconstructed cinematic images, and an immersive soundscape, A Hundred Years From Now by Arijit Debnath captures his search for the memories of his mother, activated by a celebration of Bengali cinema, poetry and music. This process of rediscovery comes together in a collaged portrait of cultural melancholia and personal grief.

  • Conversations 26

Making the film involved a kind of conversation between these recordings and myself. Working without a preconceived structure, I approached the material intuitively, in a manner similar to that of a fine artist. It is part of human nature to search for meaning, and I…

  • End Rolls #2

    ‘End Rolls #2’ is a digital scan from the 16mm colour negative film ‘End Rolls’ (2009), originally a three-projector 16mm film and sound performance. Inspired by the colour fluctuations that appear at the beginnings and ends of developed film rolls, the work was made by exposing colour negative film directly to light sources such as candles, stove flames, and room lights by opening the camera body rather than using the lens. Positive prints were projected simultaneously on three unsynchronised projectors, causing shifting colour rhythms across the screens. Sound was also generated directly from the images using light-sensitive diodes attached to…

  • conjuro

    Conjuro is an 8 minute experimental animated film exploring resilience through ecological kinship between humans and other-than-humans. Made with digital stop-motion, microscopy, hand- and- eco-processed 16mm film, and cameraless techniques, these textured imaginaries blur natural and human gestures and invite us to rewild ourselves through incantations of sound and layered reflections.
