The video You Went Back Again and Again, 2009 addresses the space of mourning and does this by looking at the registers of memory. The camera traverses with me to spaces that repeatedly explode with images I want to erase. A video installation, the work is an assemblage of images, text, sounds. Set within the overall narrative of a car journey to my father's grave and back, the work seeks to document the two years after the event. Believing strongly in a certain image of grieving this work sets out for me and the viewer an alternative. Conversations traverse from the incredulous to deep feelings of guilt, images from journeys explore the space of being nowhere and the self writes itself in words that cannot be strung together. Bodies don't exist in these spaces whole, neither of those who have passed nor of those who live to tell, to mourn. It testifies to what is left, the images, the knowing, the ifs and the buts.

Brief Sinopsys Sardar Sarovar, an impressive cement wall of 121 meters heigth, stops river Narmada´s flow. It is part of the faraonic “Narmada Valley Development Project”, that plans the construction of more than 3000 dams, some of them of huge dimensions. Over two millions and a half people are afected, most of them adivasis (indigenous) who are losing their houses and ways of life. For twenty years they have been struggling against the interests of the government and the big corporations. Women have gained conciousness of the dimensions of the problem and have become the main role in this unequal fight. Is this the single way of development? The situation in the Narmada Valley is an example of the 21th century´s biggest war: water control, natural resources control.

Manas in Western Assam of India is a veritable haven of lush green forests, It was down graded to the status of world Heritage site in danger because of the result of political and social up heavel that took place in the Bodo-dominated areas surrounding Manas which presented a new danger to an already fragile ecosystem. Now in maintaining the Manas National Park many N.G.Os took active steps in various fields. One such N.G.O. named Mousi Gandri Eco Tourism society conserved and preserved a hatching Burmese rock python with 100's of eggs. The hatched young ones are released in batches in different zones of National Park with the hope that balance in the eco system would be maintained. A hundred percent successful hatching of python under human protection in nature is a rare phenomenon.
