Re-Write

Re-write is a project looking at how people construct traditional ritual spaces in contemporary times. Through ritualising we ‘re-write’ and re-contextualise personal memories and include them to a larger collective whole. In today’s world these ceremonial acts /moments whether it is part of a wedding, pregnancy, birth or death so on and so are captured through photographic images and immediately compiled into albums that represent a kind of exteriorised memory.

This project took shape while going through some of the personal photo albums of close friends and relatives who narrated the tales of their tryst with ‘sacred time’ through these images.  Interweaving personal memories within these collected images, Re-write is an attempt to understand and recreate essence of the experience of mythic time and space.
