| Abstract: | The project seeks to photographically examine the cultural experience of
different types of cinema halls in Bombay city.
In part, this is a meditation on different urban spaces. The photographs
will illuminate the inherent sign language of the architecture, posters
and signage, hall seats, film reels, tickets, toilets, snack counters,
workers' uniforms, patron's clothing, gender break-up etc. of these spaces.
More importantly, this is an attempt to illustrate the subjective nature
of the film-going experience. From the designer shop - to cinema hall -
to chain restaurant mall/multiplex experience, to the still-standing
single-screen bastions of the art-deco era, to the musty largely
male-dominated "c-grade" halls, the photographs will evoke the unique
experience of these different spaces.
By examining these spaces photographically, the project aims to provide
a rich and detailed socio-visual context to the ever-changing urban
cinematic experience -- thus situating film texts within various
cultural spaces. The intention is to eventually produce a monograph on
Bombay's cinema halls as well as to exhibit the photographs publicly. |
