Jugaad – Of Intimacy and Love
Friends Chotu and Rajan leaving the temple Soon after beginning my research to prepare 'Jugaad-Of intimacy and Love' I realised that my attempts to locate familiar identities in the public gestures rooted in India's homosocial culture would only stand in the way of embracing the many subtle layers of intimacies my collaborators eventually began sharing with me. QUOTE: “ What we feel is, when we hold hands and walk, the love that we have gets strengthened even further. Our love becomes deeper and we establish trust in each other and build upon it through this." Gaurav. For 'Jugaad-Of Intimacy and...

Polarity
Androgyny scares, baffles and fascinates at the same time. Androgynous people live between the polarities of a binary society: visually they fit neither the female nor male stereotype. Their dual natures coexist in each world like cross-faded images contained in one frame. Separating them into two classic genders makes this polarity visible and present while mirroring back the viewer's norms and stereotypes.
