Synopsis
In the face-off between modernisation and age-old traditions, a small but significant village community of rural India, suffers incoherent changes. This project was an attempt to capture the changing intricacies in its socio-religious lifestyles using the Wet Plate Collodion method whose uniqueness lies in the unconventionality of painstakingly making the photograph manually from scratch to finish.
Inspired by the works of commissioned British photographers who created a photographic directory of India, it was decided to recreate the photographs of a Sanakari and its people and bring alive the ‘new’ through the ‘old’ by borrowing the language and aesthetics of the old photographic technique.
