Biografia

My art practice is informed by my background in choreography, Indian classical music, and painting, bringing a strong sense of composition to my works. My audio-visual installations and live performances transform the banal, structured
and repetitive movements of everyday into a grandiose expression of the ordinary. My focus is on the audience experience. Accentuated and amplified by these expressions, the experiences range from the subtle and pleasant, to the powerful and overwhelming. In my current series of works called Video Choreographies, the mass repetition of small videos magnifies subtle nuances while blurring the whole ensemble into a mass of activity. For instance, the elementariness of simple gestures, such as those of stirring, or putting hair behind the ear, get morphed into a complex choreography when multiplied. The effect of this process is mirrored in the dense and rich textured sound that emerges form the the layering of the audio from the individual videos.
