Film Project - Last Sound Before Sleep
I’ve been practicing photography and meditation simultaneously for the past few years. On arriving in Pont Aven from the congested metropolitan city of Mumbai I found myself being unable to sleep at night due to an accentuated soundscape from within my body. I was overwhelmed by the beating of my own heart and magnified breath. I was surprised by the simplicity of this primal act that is elemental to the human life force but is only noticed in moments of silence. A soundscape I was only able to pay attention to while in meditation, when silence is deliberately sought out.
While meditation has been an inward self-exploration, my photographic practice has always included the external, the human form. I wanted to unite both these past explorations with my self-reflective observations in Pont-Aven, via a new medium. For this particular project I’ve stepped away from my photographic practice and opted for video in order to bypass the limitations of still images.
