The short video Vortex is a journey into a landscape of industry. Here, one walks through the debris of a mechanical world that has become obsolete; the camera captures large still-life that once was moving and was part of an industry. The camera focuses on the industrial urban landscape, fractured from functional state and constructed into another reality. The imagery looks like an aftermath of violence; I have attempted to play with surface of machine that has gathered patina, the multitude of tactile expressions in a metallic palette.
The brooding images suggest the underlying concern of the urban metropolis, and the party seems to be over. The greed of industrialization is a common future and it is not about opposing growth but locating the self in it. There is emphasis on the absence of human presence; and echoes the absence of a narrative through figuration.
