I lived in Paris for 5 years & when I decided to move back to India, I knew it had to be a solo journey, slow & by surface, to understand the distance I had put between myself and my home for the previous half-decade.
Somewhere along this journey, my main capture device, a Beautyflex 66 , had a shutter failure. Soon after this, I dropped my phone, which also happened to be my point-and-shoot camera. As the screen smashed, I realised how much I rely on images as a form of communication. Contact comes from a reflection on the act of seeing, of remembering and how our technological devices dictate both. Born out of interruptions in transmission, Contact is a speculation on oscillating perception & interchangeable realities, a celebration of irregularities & a proposition for re-imagining the photograph as document.
