Dream Houses

Áttekintés

Dream Houses is a 8mm color stop-motion animation that reflects the artist's engagement with the idealism and hope that modernism brought for the Indian middle class and the poor in the Nehruvian sixties. It has also been used in Utopia, Malani's first multiple-screen installation, wherein this film is projected adjacent to the film Utopia, shot after the artist moved to a basic apartment building in a suburb of Bombay. This format allowed her to juxtapose the idealism of the sixties with the later dystopia of urbanism in the seventies.
