This project moves along a trajectory of drawn images creating fragmentary glimpses of movement. Sequential drawings transform the walls of the buildings of the Goethe-Instiut / Max Mueller Bhavans in Delhi and Kolkata. Animated apparitions of a man, some trees and dog, appear, disappear and re-appear in various quick gestures. The artist draws, erases and re-draws – the man walks, the dog runs the trees rustle. Over the course of two days, Sukanya uses walls, stairs and exposed surfaces of the building to draw and animate. There is no narrative script – just a dynamic animation that evokes a sense of movement and distance at the same time. The ever evolving drawn figures/landscapes, rendering strange the pristine walls around the institute and blurring the boundaries of drawing, video and performance. The project attempts to bring out the usually solitary working processes of animation film making into the glare of public consideration, albeit temporarily. The audience is then forced to confront the parts and the whole, the static and the moving image.
