If moods and associations arise there from collaged
juxtapositions of ordinary sights, Three Fragmented
Actions of Silence uses direct shots with and ones
altered by superimposing, blending, fleeting fragments,
by negative and abstract-like effects gained from
scratches, blinking and technical refuse that add
to a very aesthetic, though film-specific, painterly-graphic
character. The lyrical finesse that comes with roughness
enables a feel of rudimentary existential contradictions
as sustaining and complementary. The dual - positive/negative
image of the artist eating and recreating a flower
echoes in the veiling and unveiling of her face to
conclude with two pairs of blue and red lined hands
which turn into a confluence of water and blood, called
blue river, red rive.r The work speaks as much about
the processes of living as it does about Surekha’s
aesthetic and conceptual method. “Unveiled Images”,
the montage of file shots and footages does something
strange to a simple act of a veil, un-covering the
face, in blue-sepia. Superimposed with montage, the
veil unveils various realities, the image acquires
the identity of a biogas-mask, a veil, a West-Asian
characterization and the like.
