Few months ago on my vacation to Kerala, I visited Forte Kochi the architecture and the heritage aesthetics are a seamless blend of Portuguese, Dutch and British influences. A perfect place to spend entire day by simple hopping from one antique store to another. What caught my attention was a small clock repairing shop at one corner of the Jew Street.
It’s been almost 17 years or more since I got into making artefacts from found materials, this is very close to what I have imagined to create with collected parts of various devices from different cities. After countless formations in my head and in real this is what I finally articulated. The phrase Forsa E Honorum – stayed with me since I watched Gladiator. And I always wanted to make something related to stallions after being inspired by ‘Stallion of the Cimarron
Comprising over 500 different parts from various devices components, each meticulously handpicked from different cities over the span of a decade. Crafted with care and precision, taking eight intense months of effort. Don’t miss this short film spun around the same concept and the journey of the artefact.
