The Delhi Photo Festival has grown from a grassroots organization to support photography in India, to a world venue with global contributors and attendees. For the 1st edition of the festival the focus was on the celebration of the creative process. It was 1st photo festival of its kind in India. Photographers from all over the world participated in this event.
As it was a festival, the documentation had to be unique, vibrant, interesting and creative and speak to the celebration of and for photographs. The brief was to create a memoire of the festival.
The idea was to document the entire process frame by frame from the starting point of creating the wall graphic till the end as it was coloured completely black.
The crowd was asked to erase the black, in this process the sketch was revealed. This project was done in collaboration with artist Parismita Singh.
A kettle wondering the world might seem like and an unreal story, however in a world of social media it is not uncommon to see an intimate object embarking on an adventure. A kettle travel across the globe could be an intriguing tale of exploration, with humble seeing sights and experiencing cultures that many of us can only dream of. Imagine for a moment the kettle sit on to mountain peak over looking the breathtaking landscape, or taking a sip of tea in bustling market. The story of the kettle is a metaphor of the joys of travel, the unexpected discoveries and connection we make along the way. This wandering kettle might inspire one of us to take our own journeys, to see the world with new eyes and to appreciate the beauty of different cultures and experiences.
