This video accompanies Part II: Aura and Trace in Gurgaon. I originally produced it as a visual construct for a graduate seminar in the Architecture Department at the University of Hawaii in Fall 2010. The seminar was entitled Design Asia. The concept was to design an audio-video montage of movement across Delhi's variegated landscapes. The image-sound assemblage is inspired by the following quote:
“Speed enables you to see. It does not simply allow you to arrive at your destination more quickly, rather it enables you to see and foresee.... Speed changes the world vision.”
This experimental ethnographic video accompanies Chapter Five: The Village, and explores the "urbanized" village of Chakkarpur, Gurgaon.
“Everywhere where there is interaction between a place, a time and an expenditure of energy, there is rhythm.”
