Description
Shot on super 8mm film this short, experimental film was made while on artist residency to India as part of Cork's European City of Culture International Artists' Residency Programme 2005. The film shows a young Indian woman absorbed in her task of hanging out washing on a roof top in Mumbai. Half way through we hear a voice (the artist) reciting a poem by Kamila Das, one of the few modern, female poets who developed a national and international reputation and, moreover, known for her sensual and erotic explorations of the interior sexual longings of Indian women - traditionally considered taboo.
