GENTLEMAN OF THE ROAD - GOING BACK I’LL GIVE YOU 100 RUPEES
(2018, kinetic objects, 8 LED projectables, RC toy motors, dimensions variable)
Sequence of 8 slides, freeze frames from a rear view mirror video featuring a New Delhi tuk-tuk driver making me a fare offer. The stills dissect the sentence into its phonemes which are projected by DISNEY toy projectables. Motors and wheels reanimate the stills, once again setting the pictures in motion, simulating the shaky original footage and the bumpy ride.
