The Lost Head & The Bird (2019)
By Sohrab Hura
ohrab Hura discusses the fluid interplay between photography and film, and channeling the growing chaos and absurdity of life in India in his work. The Lost Head & the Bird uses India’s coastline as a lens through which to re-examine the nation’s changing politics, and society – the growing and pervasive sense of caste, sexual, religious and political violence. The project, accompanied by his unnerving short story of the same name, morphed into a new short film. Here, Hura discusses the advantages of moving image, the use of sometimes brutal found imagery, and his working process.
