I am interested in new ways of seeing, in material memory – especially its cinematic forms, the possibilities of handmade photochemistry including 19th century silver based processes and finding mediums for stories. 

Over the past years, I have founded and run Harkat Studios – a multi-disciplinary arts studio and experimental film lab, made experimental films and installations and curated a few exhibitions. Recent work includes this expanded cinema performance and this film. 

My background is in commercial Hindi film, working with director Prakash Jha on films like Raajneeti, Satyagraha, Chakravyuh and Aarakshan – before taking a turn into experimental films and expanded cinema performances.

Some of my work is available on this website through the menu above.
