Utopia

A 16mm black and white film shot after the artist moved to a basic apartment building in a suburb of Bombay, Utopia has also been used in the two-channel installation of the same name, wherein the artist projected this film adjacent to Dream Houses, a 8mm color stop-motion animation that reflects the artist's engagement with the idealism and hope that modernism brought for the Indian middle class and the poor in the Nehruvian sixties. This format allowed her to juxtapose that idealism with the later dystopia of urbanism in the seventies.
