The Work

Open Invitation

Film by Shabari and Manush

The film visually explores the relationship of the human form to the landscape. There is also an attention to time in the film, which seeks to evoke a sense of expanse and immersion. The film has no words, and is non-narrative.


Singing Body 

Performance by Bindhumalini and Shabari

Singing Body is an improvisational performance score that brings movement and sound together through the common modality of breath. It explores a meditative, mindful, contemplative journey through movement and stillness, sound and silence that unfolds from a place of conscious listening. 


Deep Time

Sound album by Navya and Bindhumalini

Exploring immersive soundscapes that play with space and presence, this album seeks to capture the sonic texture of the landscape through eco-acoustic experiments.  


Process Installation and Artist talk

by Open Invitation Collective

The process installation traces the research journey of this project. Often in an art project, only the final outcomes are shared with the public. But as this project had an important research process component, we want to make that available to our audiences. 


Talk by Thejaswi Shivanand

If deep time is a frame to understand scales of time that are beyond human experience and history, then rocks are the witness to deep time. This talk will open up some ideas around our current understanding of deep time as captured by these rocks and a geological approach to reading the landscape around us.
