Re-Generations explores time (past, present and future) and the warping of cultures over time. The final ephemeral animation is a combination of a scan of an archival image and recent photographs of three or more generations of Indian women which magically flow one into another. Flipping through a family album, we become more cognizant of the histories and memories of our and other families. Using digital technology, I reorient the viewer's connection to time as I collapse the presumed progression of it's borders, so the past and present appear here in the same virtual space. These animations weave in and out of spaces of time, allowing the viewer to simultaneously ponder the history, future and aging of the subjects. This malleable flowing object leaves the viewer to wonder where the past and present overlap and warp. Here, history is distorted, evoking a new dimension of memories, which is uniquely digital.
