Critical Practice Programme Proposal

My work falls in the category of contemporary, post modern narrative.  I am interested in a certain type of narratives which are not grand narratives but comprise of moments which are fragmentary and inconsequential. I like to capture the gaps in the moments, or moments which might be unplanned or incidental opening up various possibilities and various meanings for the viewer. I am interested in exploring the relationship between the documentary and a staged events resulting in mutable, skewed, unreliable narratives . I like to employ obscure, peripheral characters and background details which do not focus on the tale itself but rather how they are told. My narratives constantly slide between subjective and objective reality. Imaginary events in my mind are indistinguishable from realistic events in the outside world. My intention is to cull together a set of characters and employ them to tell slippery, inconclusive stories .

My aim for the Critical Practice Progrmame is to use mediums and techniques I have not experimented with before like animation, moving image, performance sound and shadow play to create a not very plausible alternate universe. I would like to engage the audience to create an experience for them where in someway they can become a part of the work itself.
