'Conditions Apply' is a
seven part work wherein a life-sized image of a roti (the
staple Indian meal) is seen shrinking with every passing frame.
The viewer who at first will access the image as that of a
waning moon will slowly see the image transmogrify into that of
an eaten up roti.
The moon, as seen in
numerous cinematic moments, symbolizes hope; here disturbed by
the unsettling image of a diminishing meal. With
'Conditions Apply' I was hoping to morph the twin
metaphors of deprivation and hope which form the
leitmotif of contemporary Indian life.
