Decathlon

In India, Decathlon became an attraction due to its sheer size and variety. People, young and old, could be observed exploring the space in their own pace. The idea was to document the reaction and experience of the customers at the store. The objective was to observe people in the space and try to build short cyclical narratives that capture their experiences.

Static Bombay

The gaze illustrates social and cultural structures that we as humans have created amongst ourselves. This film is an effort to illustrate this power dynamic through the gaze of the camera and the non-actors. The film is made with documentary footage shot on 16mm with the intention of capturing the rarest moments of Bombay (Mumbai), the moments when one sees someone static in this sleepless dynamic city of dreams. A static individual is a dreamer, lost in thought, lost in the dreams that Bombay failed to realize for them.
