2011, “While Absent, Present”, is a video series exploring the poetics of silence and banality in what is found or left behind, in non-consequential linear stories. A random fraction of what is quotidian in the common space, tends to be the instinctual choice of subject matter. Although quite subtly, the work pulls by its gravitational force, metaphorical implications of form and content: the relations and (or) tensions between the boundaries of the pictorial frame, the interplay of textures, and in some cases the insinuated presence of sound while being completely absent.
