TRANSMUTATION (working title) is a large scale immersive interactive video mapping, dance and sound art Installation work currently in development by four multidisciplinary artists of Indian heritage from Australia and India; Raghav Handa (Choreographer/Dancer), Naina Sen (Video Artist), Farrah Mullah (Sound artist) and Vishal Kumaraswamy (Digital Artist).
Created as a collective response to the horrific 2nd Covid wave in India, the work explores the themes of identity, diaspora, home, the spectrum of individual and collective ‘Indian-ness’, separation, loss and ritual. Drawing on the diverse practices of all 4 artists, the work will be presented as a large scale performance installation using multi channel video art, projection mapping, soundscapes, motion sensor technology and contemporary dance and movement.
